In Ruanda sind zum 1. August die Gehälter von Lehrern erhöht worden. Das war wohl überfällig, denn das Niveau an vielen Schulen war auf Grund wenig motivierter Lehrer sehr schlecht.
Wir haben innerhalb unseres Bildungsprojekts einschlägige Erfahrungen gemacht. Viele Lehrer sind wegen der schlechten Bezahlung aus dem Schuldienst ausgeschieden und haben sich besser bezahlte Arbeit gesucht. Die Regierung hofft nun, daß die Gehaltserhöhung auch die Motivation und das Bildungsniveau steigert. Zu hoffen ist es.

Während sich in Ruanda die Situation trotz der angespannten wirtschaftlichen Lage hoffentlich etwas zum Guten verändert, geschieht in Äthiopien Unglaubliches.
Stellen sie sich vor, sie hungern und durch das Gebiet, in dem sie leben, fahren viele LKW mit Nahrungsmitteln durch, ohne anzuhalten. Die Nahrungsmittel sind für andere bestimmt, die ebenfalls hungern. Wie würde es ihnen damit gehen? Wäre es nicht logisch, daß alle etwas bekommen, die hungern?
Leider gehen die Afar (bis jetzt) leer aus. Aber sollten sie nicht auch etwas bekommen? Mitarbeiter des World Food Programme beteuern, daß die Afar auch Hilfe bekommen. Aber warum hungern diese dann? Es bleibt nur zu hoffen, daß den Menschen umgehend geholfen wird. Denn wenn die Ersten verhungern, ist es zu spät.

In Rwanda, teachers‘ salaries were increased on 1 August. This was probably overdue, as the standard at many schools was very poor due to poorly motivated teachers.
We have made relevant experiences within our education project. Many teachers have left the teaching profession because of the poor pay and have sought better paid work. The government now hopes that the salary increase will also increase motivation and the level of education. It is to be hoped so.

While the situation in Rwanda is hopefully changing somewhat for the better despite the tense economic situation, unbelievable things are happening in Ethiopia.
Imagine you are starving and through the area where you live many trucks with food pass through without stopping. The food is for others who are also starving. How would you feel about that? Wouldn’t it be logical that everyone who is starving gets something?

Unfortunately, the Afar are going empty-handed (so far). But shouldn’t they get something too? Employees of the World Food Programme affirm that the Afar also get help. But why are they starving? We can only hope that the people will be helped immediately. Because when the first ones die of hunger, it is too late.

Frankreichs Rolle während des Völkermords in Ruanda – France’s role during the Rwandan genocide

Daß Frankreich während des Völkermords in Ruanda im Jahr 1994 eine unrühmliche Rolle gespielt hat, ist nicht neu. Längst wurde viel darüber geforscht und gesprochen.
Und dennoch scheinen immer wieder neue Einzelheiten über Frankreichs Verwicklungen in die Ereignisse an den Tag zu kommen.
Auf dem Nachrichtenportal africanews.com ist heute der (englische) Artikel
‚French allowed Rwanda genocide perpetrators to flee‘-Report (Frankreich ermöglichte den Tätern die Flucht) zu lesen.
Es ist beklemmend, was noch immer, 27 Jahre nach den Ereignissen, an den Tag kommt.
Und es zeigt wie wichtig es ist nicht zu vergessen, und „es nicht irgendwann mal gut sein zu lassen“. Umso mehr, da die Geschichte zeigt, wie wenig Menschen aus solchen grausamen Ereignissen lernen, welchen Interessen Machtmenschen folgen und welchen Göttern sie frönen.

That France played an inglorious role during the Rwandan genocide in 1994 is not new. Much has been said and researched about it.
And yet, new details about France’s involvement in the events seem to keep coming to light.
On the news portal africanews.com today one can read the article
‚French allowed Rwanda genocide perpetrators to flee‘ report
It is oppressive what is still coming to light 27 years after the events.
And it shows how important it is not to forget, and not to „let it go“. All the more so because history shows how little people learn from such cruel events, what interests people in power follow and what gods they indulge in.

Please help me celebrate my first birthday celebration after 40 years!

Do you celebrate your birthday every year? Probably a strange question, isn’t it? But a friend of our project celebrates his birthday for the first time in 40 years!
But in an unusual way! He would like you to help him to celebrate this birthday in a special way – and we ask you to help him. But read for yourself!

„My name is Charles Hategekimana from Rwanda and I’m turning 40 years old on March 18, 2020. Practically, I have never celebrated any of my 39 birthdays due to some past circumstances faced in life, that many other people around the world may be facing today.
In fact, this was due to my rural upbringing where most people do not celebrate birthdays as such. I have never experienced it as part of our rural culture. I sometimes conclude that birthday celebration is not really a rural culture, at least referring to my context that I know very well.
For many, there are more needs than just spending on birthdays. Having not celebrated my birthday in my history on earth is also related to the Rwandan history that many people of the world know whereby the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi has psychologically affected many people, including myself. Until many years in its aftermath and even today, psychological consequences are are still felt and not easy to escape. It is funny that even when I got the possibility to celebrate my birthday, I never felt any need. My lovely wife Anitha can testify more on this, but please don’t ask her and don’t also tell our 3 under 10 daughters 😁

Moreover, even during a couple of years (2009-2011 and 2017 to date) that I have spent outside of Rwanda, I have never felt any need to celebrate my birthday in spite of some good friends of mine trying to surprise me and eventually inviting me for their own birthdays. I enjoy these moments anyway. Interestingly, I don’t even plan to celebrate this 40th birthday for myself, but rather I am thinking of many other vulnerable children in Rwanda, like anywhere else in the world, who are going through terrible situations such as lack of education, food and shelter among other basic things of life.

Therefore, if you are willing to support one or more of those vulnerable children in Rwanda, please donate anything small or big through the attached link. You will be helping me to celebrate my 4th decade (40th Birthday) on earth this way while I am even far away from my family doing my PhD project in Germany, also directed to rural areas and vulnerable people in my home-country. Doing this, you will also be helping me to thank God that I was born for a good cause. Trust me: God will bless you for your donation directed to the education of these vulnerable kids in Rwanda. Thank you very much for helping to celebrate my 40th birthday: Happy Birthday to me 😎.“

Please give whatever you can. Every donation counts!
