{{Hope Kids Academy visited the National Police Headquarters and Kigali Fire Department this morning in connection with the school’s aim of enriching their students’ social and academic development.}}
The purpose of the trip was to help demonstrate to Hope Kids’ students the value of helping others, social responsibility as well as to explore and know more about the facilities of the two vital emergency response units.
The trip took place in the morning hours this past Friday. It was attended by the entire student body and some accompanying teacher-chaperones.
The students toured the entirety of the Police Headquarters as well as the facilities for Kigali’s premiere firefighting unit.
Viewing the training grounds, uniforms, vehicles and some of the more essential equipment was a highlight for the children as they were able to see a fire truck up-close as well as the heavy flame-retardant suits that the firemen must wear.
The students engaged in discussions with the representatives from the respective emergency responders units and became much more informed about the presence of emergency response services and also their role in the Kigali community.
A follow-up discussion and presentation was held back at school prior to the students’ dismissal for the weekend.
