{{Hope Kids Academy visited the local umurenge office of Kinyinya sector in Gasabo District.}}
The purpose of the trip was to provide some assistance to local survivors of the Genocide by providing them with foodstuffs and the simple necessities for their day-to-day activities.
Over 100 families were assisted within the sector, each being given their own sack of provisions including: rice, oil, sugar and beans, amongst other things.
The trip took place in the morning hours this past Tuesday. It was attended by over twenty students from Hope Kids Academy’s Summer Camp program, most of whom attended other local Kigali schools but now shifting to HKA.
The intention of the trip was to enlighten these students to the necessity of giving back and of remembering those less fortunate—especially those affected by such atrocities as the genocide—who live in our communities.
The trip was brief but was a success in its goal of branching out to the local community. Many of the local families in attendance were overjoyed at the presence of primary students in doing their part to give back.
The school plans to hold similar events in the future as part of its goal to be an active member in the local community and actively engaging its students in social responsibility.
This was the first time the school hosted such an event for outside students or campers.
