‘Upon arriving back home, set your monthly goals that you want to achieve. This is the right time to set annual goals. We have heard from you and what you want, our partners have listened to you and we will make sure that we achieve what you want. Converse with your parents and guardians on what you went through at school, don’t shy away from discussing with them what is deep in your hearts, seek advice from your parents before you seek them from anyone else.’ Noted the First Lady

HE Jeannete Kagame added: “You have different talents in you, I wish to encourage you to continue exploring and make good use of your talents to become more productive”.

Some children entertained the First Lady and those who were present. They recited poems, songs and played different games.

The children who attended the End of Year Children’s Party are born from poor families, those with disability, orphans and those with brilliant talents or have scored with excellence in their studies.
