Age: 12
Bigogwe, Rwanda
I am 12 years old. I was born in Mizingo. My father died when I was very young, so I live with my mother and older sister. Before my father died, my parents used to pray and ask God to have a boy. That is where my name comes from; it means “I ask God for.”
In school, I like learning English because I like the teacher. Coming to photography class and having a teacher from the United States has also changed how I think about school. Now I know more and I love to learn. When I am not in school, I like to play football. I also look after the cows for my family; I feel like I am always with the cows! When I grow up, I want to become the President of Rwanda, because I love my country so much. I want to bring peace to my country someday.
