- Description
- 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.

- Description
- 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.

- The re-opening of the border is set to spark social and economic activities and also benefit the informal cross-border traders who rely on the two Partner States for the supply and market of their goods.
It will also fast-track the operationalization of the Gatuna-Katuna One-Stop Border Post and in turn, reduce the cost of doing business across East Africa.
Only truckers and returning citizens or Rwanda residents have been given the green light to use the Gatuna border post between Rwanda and Uganda – at least for now.

- It's rare to find a classroom, nursery, or primary, where children are not sat, aligned in their desks, facing their instructor, who is usually in front of them. 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.

- Being a chef is not just a profession. You have to love cooking as an art before becoming a chef. And for Phionah Ninsiima, this is something that started early on.
The chef and author who recently unveiled her first cookbook dubbed ‘Memories at the Table’, says it started at a very young age for her when her mother, back in Uganda, started to expose her to the kitchen.
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.
