“Through this visit Isaro Foundation has given us hope. We appreciate that, even if we are a simple school far from Kigali city, you thought about us. We will encourage students to benefit from these books by reading them,” Bagiramenyo Claver, the headmaster of the school noted.
Betty Mukamusoni, 16 is among students who were given books.She told IGIHE.com, “the book I was given will help me a lot. Sometimes, I was not able to find a book to read; thanks to Isaro Foundation and my school which made connections with them. I will read this book and continue to increase my knowledge.”
Also visited was Ndera Junior Seminary where books were handed to the school. The school Rector Father Jean Bosco Ntagungira appreciated the initiative of Isaro Foundation.
“All knowledge comes from books; we are proud that we have such students who can recognize it and bring books to their little brothers in Rwanda.”
Lycee Notre Dame de Citeux, a girls’ school also benefited from the foundation visit. The school director noted, “As educators, we are proud to see that young Rwandans studying abroad can do such a project and realize it in such a short period.
She also reminded her students that they should read the books they have been given. “Do not only keep those books in shelves, read them” she concluded.
Me Matata, the vice President of Rwandan Diaspora appreciated what Isaro Foundation is doing in schools pointing out that it is everyone’s duty to help in education. He promised support to Isaro Foundation activities.
Jean Leon Iragena the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Isaro Foundation said, “The visits intended to start campaign of improving reading and writing skills in Rwanda especially in primary and secondary schools.”
