Summary:
The meeting of students sponsored through „Ecumenical One World Group“ in collaboration with „Amizero y’Ubuzima Organization“ took place on December 02, 2018 in Kigali, presided by the Project coordinator in Rwanda Mrs Laurette Mushimiyimana.

The meeting had three items on the Agenda:

• Meeting and knowing each other as one family
• Advices on how to move on
• Preparation of next academic year

Opening remarks:
After the official opening of the meeting and welcoming remarks by the Project coordinator of 1WG in Rwanda, she started to introduce to the participants the items on the agenda.

Resolution 1:
After the introduction of all the children and some parents who accompanied their children, Laurette explained everyone who is the sponsor of the project. She went on to remind everyone the generosity of the sponsors of the project and she highlighted the self sacrifice and dedication of Pastor Gerhard and Dietmar who have spent a lot of their energy for the program in Rwanda especially trying to know and visit most of the children and their families who are sponsored. The project coordinator insisted on never to forget the opportunity that we are offered by these people of good will who are only pushed by loving heart to help. On this point the children were asked to keep in touch with their sponsors as often as possible as a sign of gratitude and closeness.

Resolution 2
The project coordinator took time to advice all the children on how to be responsible in life especially by putting all the efforts to study well, use the chance they are given for the better future of their lives and to never disappoint their sponsors and the society they live in. She gave each child a minute to say what is their hobbies and talents and asked them to develop it along with their studies in order to have a hopeful future.
Eric the artist who was invited in this meeting was asked to share his experiences with the children and also sang with them which made the children very happy.

After this Laurette asked Evode the alumni of 1WG to talk to the children and told them that they should feel brothers and sisters to each other, they should work hard in their studies so that they may excel in whatever work they may get once they finish their studies.

The three parents also were given time to counsel the children so as not to be a burden to their parents or to their caregivers. Laurette carried on by thanking the children who performed well during this year, congratulated the 3 students who graduated this year among them Perlin who finished his secondary studies with very good performance in spite of his visual impairment. Irene who graduated and is now a holder of bachelor degree and Lilian who graduated and got diploma but has to study another year to get her bachelor degree.

Resolution 3
In preparation of next academic year, Laurette collected all the letters of the schools which the children attend that shows all the school materials and fees needed.

In AOB the Project coordinator asked the opinion of all the children how often they need a common meeting and they unanimously and happily wanted to have it twice year as it is so helpful and encourages the spirit of being together as a family.

„As I first learned about the One-World-Group (OWG) project, the message was immediately clear and there was no question about my joining the action,“ said Christian Kaiser.
„Education is for all of the world’s children as important as is love in the family or air to breathe, all children deserve an equal right to an education,“ according to the singer.

This conversation is about the educational project of the Ecumenical One World Group, which is based in Ruhla, Germany and has underwritten Rwandan children’s education since 2007.
Recently OWG has entered into partnership with „Amizero Y’Ubuzima“, a Rwandan NGO.
And now … OWG is proud to announce it’s newest partner Ruhla rapper „Cannachris“, alias Christian Kaiser.

On October 20th (2018) Cannachris released his latest CD „Grosse Gefuehle“ (Marvelous Sensations).
The artist is donating 50% of album proceeds in support of OWG’s educational project. Currently he’s promoting among his fellow musicians the idea of producing a benefits concert.
With Cannchris‘ decision, „Künstler für Kinder“ (i.e. Artists for Kids) instantly became an international network of support.

Earlier this year and during one of his regular visits to Rwanda, the Ruhla Pastor Gerhard Reuther and founder of the One World Group project, connected with local Reggae musician „Ras Erigz“.
Out of their meeting and combined creativity, the concept of international artists networking for a common educational good of disadvantaged children, was born.

Cannachris describes his unique musical style as, „somewhat pop and somewhat rap, music is the venue for speaking my soul.“ And so it is with his new release „Marvelous Sensations“, it’s a display of emotional fireworks. Whether it’s his reflection on a difficult childhood, the sadness of separation from a partner or the challenges of becoming a family, it’s all to be discovered ‚between the lines‘ of Cannachris‘ texts and delivered through his radical rap and succinct singing style.

Out of his committment to quality, Cannachris arranged to bring Ras Erigz of Kigali, Rwanda and Reimescorte from Erfurt, Germany together under one roof for the production of Marvelous Sensations.
Hearing the integration of the German, Kinyarwanda and English languages, one quickly realizes that the album is in fact a collage of international cooperation and … „Marvelous Sensations“ !

The album may be ordered online through:

The CD collection contains 5 bonus songs for a total of 20 titles.

Do yourself a favor, as well as our Rwandan kids, and order the new Cannachris CD today.
And remember, the gift giving, holiday season is just around the corner!

Bildung für Kinder – der Titelsong zum Bildungspatenschaftsprojekt des Ökumenischen 1Welt-Kreises im Erbstromtal (bei der Ev. Kirchengemeinde Ruhla/Thür.)
Während meiner Ruanda-Reise im Februar 2018 besprach ich mit dem Reggae-Musiker Ras Erigz (Eric) eine Idee, die mir schon in Deutschland gekommen war. Da er eine große Zahl Menschen erreicht, fragte ich ihn, ob er bereit wäre, uns in unserer Öffentlichkeitsarbeit zu unterstützen und er sagte auch sofort zu.
Wir entwickelten u.a. die Idee, daß Ras Erigz für unser Bildungsprojekt einen Titel-Song schreibt. Nach meiner Rückkehr nach Deutschland kam ich mit dem Rapper Cannachris aus Ruhla ins Gespräch und fragte ihn, ob er bereit wäre, den Titel-Song gemeinsam mit Eric zu schreiben, und er war, genauso wie Eric, sofort dazu bereit. So war der Weg zu der ersten gemeinsamen Produktion geebnet.
Und es hat nicht lange gedauert, und das Lied war fertig. Mich hat beeindruckt, wie schnell die Zusammenarbeit funktioniert hat und ich bin für die Unterstützung von Ras Erigz und Cannachris sehr dankbar! Ein weiterer Dank gilt Victoria, die auf Bitte von Eric den Chorus singt. Sie ist die Leiterin des Studios GMC Right Productions in Kigali, welches den Song produziert hat.
Wir wünschen uns, daß das Lied alle anspricht, die es hören, und sie zum Mithelfen anregt – es gibt viele Möglichkeiten!
Und hier ist es:

Education for children – the title song for the educational sponsorship project of the Ecumenical 1World-Group in the Erbstromtal valley [affiliated with the Protestant Church of Ruhla / Germany
During my trip to Rwanda in February 2018, I discussed with Ras Erigz (Eric) an idea that had already come to me in Germany. As he reaches a large number of people, I asked him if he would be willing to assist us in our public relations work, and he immediately agreed. Amongst others, we also came up with the idea that Eric writes a title song for our educational project.
After my return to Germany, I got into conversation with rapper Cannachris from Ruhla and asked him if he would be willing to write the title song together with Eric, and he, like Eric, was immediately ready for it. This paved the way for the first joint production. And it did not take long, and the song was ready. I was impressed with how quickly the cooperation worked and I am very grateful for the support of Ras Erigz and Cannachris! Another thanks goes to Victoria, who sings the Chorus at the request of Eric. She is the director of the studio GMC Right Productions in Kigali, which produced the song.
We wish that the song appeals to everyone who hears it and encourages them to help – there are many possibilities!
