Chimene likes studying verbs

Thanks to your donation, Chimene is attending intensive English classes on Saturdays and Sundays this fall. Because the Rwandan schooling system has recently switched to English-based classes, she must catch up in her English skills in order to succeed in her academics and career.  In two years, she will take the English-based national exam which determines her entrance into upper secondary school.

Chimene is in her first year of lower secondary school in Rwanda. She hopes to one day be a teacher, so English is an important element of her education. Chimene is eagerly practicing her verbal and written language skills, so that she can excel on her exams and in life.  She especially enjoys learning verbs!

Chimene is from the Gashora sector – an impoverished area of Rwanda which was hit hard by the genocide. She has three brothers and two sisters, and looks up to her mother as her role model. Few students from Gashora have the opportunity to move on to upper secondary school.

Thanks Margo for your support!
