{{The First Lady Jeannette Kagame has begun today a two-day visit to Uganda at the invitation of her Ugandan counterpart Janet Museveni IGIHE has learnt.}}
Sources told Ugandan press that Mrs. Kagame will participate in a community service event, similar to Rwanda’s monthly Umuganda (community service), geared towards building a primary school at Itojo in Ruhama, Ntungamo district.
While in Uganda, Mrs. Kagame and her host are scheduled to preside over the commissioning of a model school at Rwekiniro built by Mrs Museveni.
Uganda’s ambassador to Rwanda, Richard Kabonero was quoted saying, “We welcome the First Lady of Rwanda’s visit which is a further sign of the existing deep relations between the two countries and builds on the momentum of our two heads of State,” Kabonero commented.
When she visited in July 2011, Mrs Kagame and her counterpart Mrs Museveni opened Igongo cultural center in Mbarara where the former donated $10,000 (sh23m) to promote Uganda-Rwanda culture.
