It&#8217;s the first training we&#8217;ve received, but it will help the children improve their capabilities and further assists in developing their talents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kwizera mentioned that they are planning to collaborate with Rwanda Football Federation (FERWAFA), to allow these children to participate in more competitions, which will further help in talent development. <\/p>\n<p>Ben

developing these talents for their future benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Matthias Widor, General Manager of Kigali Marriott Hotel and Four Points by Sheraton Kigali, stated that they chose to work with SOS Children\u2019s Village Rwanda because they already support the children in improving their lives and providing daily care, and encouraged other partners to contribute to nurturing the talents of the youth.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-66618\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/marriott_hotel_kigali_take_care_photos_-_2024_13.jpg\" alt=\"Before
