It was the scene of the deadly attack by the defunct FAR soldiers and the genocidal Interahamwe militia on the night of March 18, 1997.
Mujawamahoro and Ndemeye died on the spot during the cold-blooded attack, along with five other students [Sylvestre Bizimana (S6), Beatrice Mukambaraga (S6), Séraphine Mukarutwaza (S5), and Hélène Benimana, who was in S5].
The students were killed when the abacengezi (infiltrators) opened fire and hurled grenades into students after the latter famously refused to separate themselves along ethnic lines.

Luladey Takele Teshome has joined forces with Astérie Hitimana of Twinkle by Asty Fashion House for a project dubbed ‘Untitled’ that fuses art and fashion. It was launched on February 26.
“We actually named it ‘Untitled’ because we wanted to engage the audience and our customers. We wanted to engage other Africans, to actually have a say in what we were creating,”
“It came from the desire to merge art with fashion, and trying to create something new and fresh that is for Rwanda. Initially, what we had in mind was we would have an art piece as well as a collection and we would have that out,” Lula says.
Lula collaborated with Hitimana, who has been in the fashion industry for five years, to give fabrics a local and artistic touch at the same time. The duo is making clothes which they believe makes an ‘African’ statement whenever one wears them.

- In the digital world where a factory in China is able to churn out thousands of computer-generated art pieces that mimic actual art and export them to be sold at a knock off price, art as a profession has never been threatened.
Similarly, for many, the cost of real art is a turn off. You really have to be an art lover to spend Rwf300, 000 on an art piece in these hard economic times. For young people, hand-made art is no longer something they would consider for a career.
Actual #art requires time. A good art piece requires enough time to fully perfect it. For the fast-paced millennials, art is time consuming and perhaps old school. Not so?
21-year-old Innocent Ishimwe is one of the few young people who still believe art as an industry can survive the digital storm because nothing can replace the natural touch of an artist.

- When a person hears the words "daycare" or "child care," they may not realise the true importance and understanding in a child's development in the first 0 to 3 years of life. While many African parents prefer to raise their children at home or with caregivers until they join nursery or kindergarten, just a few send their children to daycare centers before kindergarten.
We visited a Montessori daycare in Kigali, and learned a lot about how beneficial daycare can be in a child's early years. If you're considering sending your child to daycare, take a peek at what a typical day in daycare looks like.

With a stick in one hand and chalk in the other, the teacher is often times backed with a black chalkboard and books to read to their students. These are usually called teaching materials and techniques, at least it is so in Rwanda.
Jan Brown, however, believes that instead of teaching materials, there should be learning materials in the classroom. "It is actually the same as what the Rwandan government is trying to establish," she says when asked what it means.

The 32-year-old started cooking at the age of seven or eight and by nine, she prepared her first meal. She describes it as a long journey. Growing up, her mother, who was a single mum and couldn’t afford house helps, taught them how to cook.
