{The management and staff of Development Bank of Rwanda (BRD) joined sick children hospitalized at the Muhima Hospital to celebrate Christmas on Wednesday 24th December, 2013.}<\/p>\n
The staff of BRD led by the Chief Executive Officer, Alex Kanyankole delivered Christmas presents (consisting of goodies worth about one million Rwandan francs) to the sick children resident at the Pediatric ward of the Nyarugenge District based hospital.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the occasion organized in honour of the visiting contingent, Kanyankole explained that BRD has always celebrated Christmas with the needy and vulnerable members of the Rwandan public, and emphasized that during this year\u2019s celebrations, the sick children were singled out to benefit from BRD\u2019s staff humanitarian efforts.<\/p>\n
Kanyankole said, \u201cThese are our children and it is necessary for us as employees of BRD to share the festive cheer and blessings with them in their time of sickness. We highly believe and hope for their quick recovery as they are the future employees of BRD as well as future doctors of hospitals like Muhima\u201d<\/p>\n
Kanyankole further added that showing compassion to the needy is part and parcel of the Rwandan culture and more so, it is in line with exhibition of BRD\u2019s commitment to its corporate social responsibility mandate of giving back society.<\/p>\n
\u201cBRD is consistently at the forefront of financing Rwanda\u2019s socio-economic development, and as a result registers considerable profits which it invests back in the community through such initiatives of assisting the needy and vulnerable members of our society,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Director of Muhima Hospital, Dr. Mulindwa Patrick, expressed his gratitude and appreciation towards BRD\u2019s initiative to show solidarity (\u2018act of kindness and love\u2019) with the sick children during this festive season.<\/p>\n
Dr. Mulindwa said: \u201cThis commendable act of selflessness signifies BRD\u2019s expression of love and care towards the children of Rwanda. I encourage all other stakeholders to consolidate and support such initiatives\u201d <\/p>\n
Uwanyirigira Olive, a mother to one of the sick children, expressed surprise at BRD\u2019s timely humanitarian intervention saying: \u201cIt is admirable to see people leaving their work premises and come here with lots of gifts to visit the sick \u2013 this is surely a sign of love as lived by Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate during Christmas!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
