{{The First Lady, Mrs. Jeannette Kagame today joined around 3000 residents of Busogo sector and around 350 youth (who were part of Kwibuka Conversation the day before) for the Global Umuganda.}}
This special umiganda consisted of working on a road and re-constructing homes for genocide survivors. 83 year old Nyiramategeko Esther, widowed during the genocide against Tutsi in 1994, is one of the survivors whose home was re-done.
Mrs. Jeannette Kagame also gave 10 cows to needy families in Busogo sector. In her speech, the First Lady started by sharing H.E. President Kagame’s greetings.
She then reminded the youth that Rwanda believes in them and that the leadership is ready to assist them, to become better and better.
She also called upon everyone to fight together so that genocide never happens again. The First Lady ended her brief message by thanking everyone for their collective hardwork.
Other remarks were given by the Mayor of Musanze: Mrs. Winifrida Mpembyemungu, Nothern Province Governor Aime Bosenibamwe and Honourable Minister of Youth and ICT Philbert Nsengimana.
Minister Nsengimana’s key message was a pledge that this generation would fight to ensure genocide never happens again.
As Rwanda prepares to Remember the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi for the 20th time, the Global Umuganda and Kwibuka Conversations serve to show solidarity with survivors and support them as much as possible.
