The last week of term included a flurry of activities; a farewell and thank you from the mayor, two VSO meetings and a rather special ceremony in the district, courtesy of the Imbuto Foundation.
The Imbuto Foundation is a social mobilization campaign which promotes girls’ education. It is led by Jeanette Kagame, the First Lady of Rwanda.
Moses and I attended the Prize Giving Ceremony
for Ngoma and Kirehe District where the best performing girls were rewarded for
their results in the National Examinations.
At the event, the girls were presented with a big
bag of goodies, including a wristwatch, periodic table, Oxford English
dictionary and 20,000RWF cash (which for some people is equivalent to a month's salary). It was wonderful to be part of the Girls’
Empowerment campaign and my District Education Officer was particularly proud as her daughter was one of the prize winners.
