In line with our Wilderness Impact strategy, this month, Aline Umutoni and Jean Damascene Nkuriragenda visited the seven schools that we partner with on Educate projects.
We are very proud of the proactive CITW clubs in the schools, and wanted to celebrate this with the students by supporting them with Club T-shirts. The schools now close for a short holiday, starting the third and last term of the school year half-way through April.
The students at Bisate Primary and Secondary schools, Rushubi School close to Sabyinyo, Akayange Primary and Rwabiharamba Secondary schools close to Akagera National Park, and Gisunzu Primary and Kinihira Secondary schools situated in the Gishwati Forest area, were all so happy to receive their t-shirts, and to see Aline and Jean Damascene.
In total, 244 CITW Eco-Club students attend weekly environmental lessons at their primary schools, and 308 students attend weekly YES Club environmental sessions at the secondary schools.
Including the teachers involved, we distributed 650 t-shirts – bright yellow for the students, and black for the Eco-Mentors and teachers.
Wishing all the students and teachers a very happy holiday, and we are looking forward to following their progress during the upcoming last term of the school year 2023-24!
