Uwera
Trifine is 15 years old and in her first year of secondary
school at ACEJ School in Gitarama, Rwanda. Uwera excels
academically at school, where she placed 8th in her
class. She is also enrolled in physics and chemistry
simultaneously, something that few students dare to
do.
In addition to her science classes, Uwera is beginning
to learn how to speak English, a skill she is very
proud of. She is also the striker on the girl's soccer
team at ACEJ School. Upon completing her education,
she hopes to become a doctor.
Uwera was born in a rural farming village near Gitarama.
When Educate!'s sponsorship gave her a chance to go
to school, her entire village came out to thank Educate!
by presenting the founder, Eric Glustrom, with basket
after basket of their crops. Uwera's village, which
resembles a large family, understood what an incredible
opportunity Educate! had given one of their daughters,
and they all thus wanted to express their gratitude.
