He also appreciated the warm welcome of the neighbourhood and parents and their confidence in sending their children to the Brothers&#8217; school. Above all, he acknowledged the teachers, as did His Eminence Antoine Kambanda, for putting their heart and soul into making the Lasallian educational mission possible.<\/p>\n<p>His Eminence reminded the Christian faithful that the religious community is hospitable community, inhabited by God, and a community where fraternity is at the heart of all activities. He promised the Brothers his close collaboration for the smooth running of this educational mission, strongly desired and encouraged by the Church.<\/p>\n<p>He also recalled that every child is a gift from God to the family and society, a gift that must be nurtured by parents and teachers, and urged them to dedicate their service to helping the talents that God has hidden in every child to blossom and grow.<\/p>\n<p>Brother Ferdinand BIZIYAREMYE<br \/>\nDelegation of Rwanda<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"awb-gallery-wrapper awb-gallery-wrapper-1 button-span-no\"
