Construction is set to takeoff at the school of a Frw 15M documentation centre in memory of the students and teachers that perished in the 1994 Tutsi genocide that left a million people dead.
Lycee de Kigali (LDK) has honoured 13 students and 24 teachers that were massacred at the school in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
A group of 150 students and 35 teachers travelled to Ntarama genocide memorial centre in Bugesera district and received explanations on how genocide was prepared and shown tools used to kill people during the genocide.
“We learned a lot during the visit especially focusing on the future while rebuilding our nation,” the school director Martin Masabo said.
In an interview with Igihe.com, Emily Mworoha, the Chairperson of the survivors association (AERG) at LDK said during the week, students were lectured about Rwanda’s history with particular emphasis on the 1994 Tutsi genocide that left a million people dead.
“The information provided during the week will help us in knowing better where we are coming from and where we are heading to,” he pointed out.
AERG association at LDK introduced the idea of building a memorial site at a cost of Frw15M that will be a centre of documentation for other schools. The school’s administration will cater for its construction.
