Project Rwanda - Tour of the Volcanoes
 |
RwaMakondera is founded on the belief that every child – not least the voiceless and underrepresented – has an important message to share with the community. The project is committed to helping each child develop the skills and confidence that will allow them to raise their own horns and sound them clearly throughout the world. Rwamakondera was selected by the World Children Cultural Exchange in Tilburg, Holland. They left 5 May 2009 from Kigali, Rwanda, for the festival that lasted for 26 days. Rwamakondera children dance Troupe was selected last Novomber by Mundial Productions based in Tilburg, Holland to represent Africa during this year’s World Children Festival dubbed ‘Via Del Mondo’. RwaMakondera among other children groups representing different continents participated in this cultural event for 26 days where they |
exchanged ideas, cultural and interacted on issues concerning the societies where they come from.
This event brought together lots of people from different corners of Holland and Europe in general where the Rwandan young stars were witnessed while performing different Rwandan traditional Dances and at the end they scooped the first place amongst the participating groups.
The organizers plus the general Dutch public including the Rwandan Ambassador to Holland who attended one of the various performances appreciated and hailed who Rwamakondera represented both Rwanda and the entire African continent during this annual event and Cultural Exchange in Tilburg,
