Green Hills Academy students have been going to Rutunga Sector over the last 5 years to visit historical sites which harbors Rwanda’s royal history.
This year is unique because the students, accompanied by some of their teachers, participated in Umuganda (community activity) with other residents and paid for health insurance for 150 residents living with disabilities from 25 vulnerable families.
One of the students, Louis Ganza, says that they will continue helping the poor.
“Usually, we collect money for some of our activities as students, but it is for the first time that we have paid for health insurance for vulnerable people. We intend to continue doing it,” he said.
Green Hills Academy secondary school’s head teacher, Anna Bagabe told IGIHE that this charitable work was proposed by the students.
“The students found it better in addition to visiting, to as well help the poor in this area for the first time through umuganda and paying for their mutuelle de santé. That’s something they were very happy at,” she said.
During the community activity, Green Hills students together with residents cleared the bushes along the road to Rutunga Stadium and built kitchen gardens for two people with disabilities.
