On 11th December 2011 the Rwandan youth network “Ruanda Connection” which is based in the capital of Germany in Berlin invited the Rwandan community for Christmas celebration.
The festivity was attended by members of the Rwandan diaspora as well as friends of Rwanda. Guests included; the Rwandan Ambassador to Germany, H.E. Christine Nkulikiyinka and the Embassy’s First Secretary who attended to show their support for the event initiated by “Ruanda Connection”.
“Ruanda Connection” aims at bringing together young Rwandans living in Germany and connecting them to their home country Rwanda.
Ambassador Nkulikiyinka welcomed the initiative of the youth and said that she hoped that this was the beginning of intensive encounters of the Rwandan family in Germany.
The aim of the group is to promote networking among young Rwandans in Germany and friends of Rwanda, and to create an active exchange with other young people in Rwanda.
The group plans to promote the Rwandan culture through events and raising awareness about Rwandan projects in Germany.
“Ruanda Connection” was founded one month ago by young Rwandans studying and working in Germany and Rwanda.
Christmas is known as a family celebration, the group wanted Rwandans in
Germany to celebrate as one family together with friends. They emphasized that they are motivated and ambitious to work hard to connect Rwandans from Germany and Rwanda.
The chairperson, Elisabeth Kaneza and deputy chairperson, Charlotte Ndakorerwa, of “Ruanda Connection” hailed the guests for attending.
The Christmas Celebration was the group’s first event. The guests appreciated the initiative and commended the good organization of the event.
