VILLAGE TIMES | TERM ONE
Thoughts from our director... We are coming to the end of an incredible first term of 2016 and I cannot believe how fast it went. It has truly been an exciting and transformative term for Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV). This year, we have increased our intake from 128 vulnerable youth to 144. We have given 16 more orphaned girls and boys the opportunity to heal and to transform into future agents of positive change. This initiative has enabled us to reach even more young people and expand our impact across Rwanda. As we welcomed “Isonga”, the new grade into our gates, we also celebrated the fourth graduation of “Ingenzi Grade”. Over 98% of our graduating Ingenzi class passed the National Exam and are now embarking on the next stage in their lives. We are so excited to see where they will go and what they will achieve. I am also delighted to inform you that Grace Uwera, one of our girls from Senior 6 scored the highest marks in Economics nationwide. Our boys, Mandela Johnson and Christian…became the 7th in Math and Physics, and 9th in History and Geography, respectively. Considering the hardships our kids have gone through growing up, these results are commendable. This year’s intake of new kids and graduation mark a momentous occasion in ASYV history: we now have over 500 students within the Village and 500 graduates outside, meaning that the ASYV family is now over 1,000 strong! This term has also seen ASYV programs focus more on practical skills to supplement our students’ formal education. Students from all grades now have the opportunity to partake in practical workshops on study, work and life skills. Alongside this, we have implemented English Enrichment classes for our younger grades in order to provide them with the best support possible. We are also developing an entrepreneurship curriculum that will enable students to try out creating and running small businesses first hand. We firmly believe that the next generation of Rwandan leaders must be innovators and job creators instead of job seekers.

Remembering Bernadette
O
n Sunday the 10th of January, we received tragic and shocking news concerning the loss of a beloved member of our ASYV family- Bernadette Bizimana. She was taken to King Faisal hospital, Kigali in the early hours of the morning, where it was later confirmed she had passed away as a result of heart failure. At the young age of 32, she was taken from us far too soon.
Hundreds gathered to commemorate the life of Bernadette at a church service that was shortly followed by her burial. The great number of people who came to mourn her pays testament to the extent at which she was adored. Those who came to pay their respects gathered together to sing songs, say prayers and lay down flowers in her honour.
Over the past four years, Bernadette worked selflessly with the Health & Wellness centre -helping to improve the lives of so many children in the Village. Working as a psycho-social expert, she was particularly close with those in the Indatwa and Imena grades. But Bernadette was more than just an employee to all of us here at ASYV. She was a sister, an auntie, and a great friend.
On behalf of everyone in the Village, we wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to Bernadette’s family. She was a cherished member of our community that will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Her spirit will continue to live on through all of us at ASYV. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Ingenzi Graduation On Thursday the 14th of January, the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village happily celebrated the graduation of the Ingenzi grade. Following the graduations of the Urumuli, Imbuto and Indatwa grades, we are extremely pleased to have seen over 500 students pass through our gates and transform into socially responsible citizens. This also means we have as many students that have graduated with us as are currently on their path to a brighter future in the Village. The occasion was marked with a grand-scale ceremony that was hosted by Mandela Wilson and Ornella Uretsinziza (both of Ishema grade). To begin the event, everyone joined together to sing the national and ASYV anthems which were followed by a prayer from Father Martin. Vincent Kalimba then stepped up to make his first graduation speech since being appointed as the new Village Director. He thanked the board members, Village staff and all the guardians for their contributions before remarking, “This is a special event that will go down in ASYV history. We are here today as a result of hard work and commitment from everyone associated with the Village.”

His words were followed by a few comments made by our previous Director of Informal Education, JeanPierre Nkuranga. After receiving a huge round of applause on his return to the Village, he stated, “ASYV is a very unique project in Rwanda. I remember seeing the kids when they first arrived in the Village and the comparison between then and now is incredible.” A theatrical spoken word performance led by Bonfils Habiyambere (Ingenzi graduate) then ensued with a message for his fellow graduates to, “pay it forward”. The poetic presentation was shortly followed by a video which paid thanks to the Village founder, Anne Heyman. To complete the presentation, a song was performed by some of the grades’ best musicians which had everybody out of their seats clapping along.
INGENZI GRADUATION
The entertainment did not stop after the performances however, as Maxim Iryumugaba delivered one of the most powerful and inspiring speeches ever uttered within the grounds of the ASYV. He touched on the development of the country since the traumatising events that took place in Rwanda 22 years ago. Maxim stated, “After the genocide, nobody could ever have expected this (Rwanda) could be a land of so much promise. The ASYV is playing a critical role in the transformation of the country and the world is beginning to take note.” He continued by saying, “The Village taught us to open our minds and understand that we live in a connected world where our actions can influence those around us.” He ended his formidable speech by giving advice to his fellow graduates -using a quote from the late Nelson Mandela, “Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great, you can be that generation.”
10
Maxim left the podium secure in the knowledge that his act was an extremely hard one to follow and this was confirmed when Dr. Steven Smith (Executive Director of USC Shoah Foundation ) said, “I can’t believe I’ve been asked to make remarks after Maxim.” He continued by advising the graduates, “Do not underestimate the power of hope you will give to everyone you meet. In terms of mending hearts and the world we live in, this is immeasurable and I can see you are taking to changing the world. This is priceless.” Steven’s brother, Dr. James Smith (Founder and CEO of Aegis Trust) then followed by telling the graduates, “The path was there for you but you still had to walk the walk. Now you can dream your dreams which have been built on
courage, hard work and trust.”
EVENTS
Jean-Claude Nkulikiyimfura (Executive Director) then took to the stage and proceeded to welcome Laurie Franz (Chair of the Board) and Seth Merrin (Owner of Liquidnet and widower of Anne Heyman) to present gifts to some of the outstanding performers of the Ingenzi grade. Graduates were selected for their hard work and contributions to academics, art, music, debate, clubs, and community support projects. Seth then addressed the graduates with an emotional speech, which he humbly began by saying, “I’m sure you would all have preferred that it were Anne standing here today. If she were, she would tell you how proud she is of all your accomplishments. You have transformed into incredible adults that embody the spirit of Anne. Now you have the opportunity to make this country shine and lead the way for all others.”
As the ceremony drew to a close, students made their way to the basketball stands where it has become an ASYV tradition to have a group photo with all the graduates dressed in their green caps and gowns. Photos were followed by drinks and snacks as guests made their way through the graduates, passing on congratulatory wishes. It was a special day that will remain long in the memories of all who were involved. On behalf of all the ASYV family, we wish the Ingenzi graduates the best of luck as they move forward into new chapters of their lives.
Laurie then took over, speaking of how the Village has now seen four classes graduate. Together with the current students, ASYV has now helped over 1000 young men and women who had little to no hope in their lives before entering the Village. Laurie also pointed out that 84% of ASYV graduates are now in universities across the world with 92% of them receiving scholarships. She concluded her speech by advising the graduates, “Believe in yourself. You have already come so far.” To end the speeches the guest of honour, Madame Governer of the Eastern Province was invited to share her thoughts. She started by congratulating the graduates and then acknowledged the ASYV alumni’s accomplishments by saying, “This is a remarkable achievement considering the Village only began eight years ago.” She continued, “As a government we are extremely proud and pleased to see you have all become responsible citizens of Rwanda.”
“The Village taught us to open our minds and understand that we live in a connected world where our actions can influence those around us.” - Maxim Iryumugaba

QUI NOU SOMMES
QUI NOUs SOMMES N early three years ago, ASYV’s head chef, Hilam Nsengiyumva took it upon himself to initiate a grandscale project with hopes that it would contribute toward increased sustainability within our Village. He named it “Qui Nous Sommes” (“Who we are”).
Together with his team, they first decided to cultivate additional crops such as onions and spinach that would help give our kids a more nutritious and balanced diet. They later collaborated in the construction of an extensive herb garden, growing plants such as sage and rosemary that are now used to give added flavour to the meals which are served every day in the dining hall. The project became so successful that the team then decided to go one step further. They realized that their initiative was not only saving the Village money by refraining from buying products elsewhere, but that they could actually turn over a profit from selling home grown food such as beans and potatoes to staff members.
14
CAMPUS
Hilam and his team have now expanded the project, farming a wide variety of livestock including cows, chickens, goats, rabbits and pigeons. Funds collected in exchange for meat and other animal products together with the money gathered from the crops has enabled our amazing kitchen staff to raise over 2,000,000 Rwandan Francs for the Village. Plans are now in the pipeline to provide livestock animals to any kids who leave the Village in particularly difficult conditions; The idea being that these graduates would be able
to generate the necessary income to support themselves by selling products such as milk and cheese. There are many unsung heroes here in the Village, and so it is with great pleasure that we give our wonderful kitchen staff the recognition and gratitude that they thoroughly deserve.
GERMAINE UWIMPUHWE
GERMAINE UWIMPUHWE ENTREPRENEUR EXTRAORDINAIRE My name is Germain Uwimpuhwe. I am 18 years old and study Mathematics, Economics and Computer Skills (MCE) in Senior 5 (Icyizere Grade). Recently, I won a national written essay competition based on "The Power of Entrepreneurship Education in Rwanda." I really enjoy learning about entrepreneurship and so when our school principle, Bonaventura, introduced the competition, I put my name forward and immediately began working on my essay. Mine was selected by the Village to be entered into the nationwide competition and a few weeks later I received news that it had been judged as the best submission in the country. This, I consider to be my greatest achievement during my time here at ASYV and one that has opened many doors in my life. I believe that the combination of hard work and the access we have to various opportunities in the Village has contributed toward my success. I'd also like to thank the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) for teaching me how to construct a powerful and meaningful essay. I'd like to take the opportunity to say that everything I have achieved can be done so by anyone with strength, determination and perseverance. I think it is important for all of us to set life goals and commit to reaching them. Furthermore, as an individual, you must believe in yourself and understand that you have the power to change your life. Lastly, no matter what other people might say, do what you love and dare to dream big.

ANNE’S COMMEMORATION
ANNE’S COMMEMORATION A Hero Never Dies On Monday the 1st of February, kids and staff in the Village gathered around the mango tree where it all started in order to commemorate the life of our beloved founder, Anne Heyman. It has been two years since Anne left us, yet her legacy lives on and continues to positively impact the lives of so many Rwandan people. Since Anne’s tragic passing, there have been two further classes graduate - with the majority of young men and women going on to receive scholarships to study at universities across the globe. The event fittingly fell upon the same day on which Rwanda celebrates National Heroes Day. It included speeches from Village Director, Vincent Kalimba and Executive Director, Jean-Claude Nkulikiyimfura. A touching spoken word performance was also carried out by some of the current students alongside Director of Operations, Issa Sikubwabo.

On the day of Anne’s commemoration, the signs were erected alongside a mango sapling outside each family home as a symbol of life and vitality in the Village.

HUMANS OF ASYV
HUMANS OF ASYV
HUMANS OF ASYV Those who follow our social media pages will have noticed that we’ve recently been posting stories of the people who help to ensure the Village is a well oiled machine. As a result. we’ve put together a selection of some of the more popular Humans of ASYV posts during the first term. M A B L E M I R E M B E “Five years ago, I joined the ASYV as a big sister and counsellor to the C J Walker family. Since that time, I have also served the same role to the David Livingstone, Fred Gisa, and Josef Ben Yakov families. Over the last few years my life has changed in a very positive way. I am now married and am expecting my first child. My position in the Village has also altered as I have become the Grade Coordinator to both the Imena and Enrichment grades. There is nothing that makes me happier than when I am around the kids having fun. I feel truly blessed to be part of the ASYV family. The other thing I love about the Village is the Learning Community philosophy. The people here come from all different walks of life and so by sharing their skills and experiences, there are endless opportunities to learn from one another and develop ourselves both personally and professionally. “
24
B O S C O M U S I M E “Before I came to ASYV I was working as the personal driver for the Minister of Youth and Culture. Due to some policy changes made by the government, personal drivers were nolonger required and that is when I joined ASYV as the transport coordinator. I joined the Village from the very beginning and have loved the eight years I’ve spent working here. My favourite thing about ASYV is that there is such a sense of community. Everybody here loves and supports one another which makes me feel like I am part of one big family. The core values we have serve as effective guidelines for developing oneself and achieving our life goals.”
PEOPLE
HILAM NSENGIYUMVA “I joined the Village eight years ago when I was hired as the head chef here. During my tenure, I have witnessed some incredible transformations in the kids and am so happy to contribute iny my own way. Three years ago, I initated a small project to help raise money for the Village. Through cultivating additional crops and selling livestock products to ASYV staff, we were able to raise over 2,000,000 Rwandan Francs. I am particularly proud of my staff who have really got on board with this project. Each member of my team has truly shown their commitment toward the mission of the Village. The initiative has not only raised much needed funds for the Village, but has also helped to inspire our kids to become young entrepreneurs.�
HUMANS OF ASYV
PEOPLE
Emmanuel Nkurwanga “I came to ASYV as a student in the Imbuto grade and a member of the Leonardo Da Vinci Family. A few months ago I was contacted by Assumpta (Alumni Relations Officer) offering me a job in the canteen here at ASYV. I was so happy to be given this opportunity as the Village is like home to me and returning here to work as an intern feels like a blessing. I particularly love being here to watch Village Time because it is always so entertaining. It is an occasion where we are able to witness the transformations that are taking place every day in the lives of each child in the Village.”
ASSUMPTA BYUKUSENGE “I came to “I joined ASYV in 2009 which was during the time I was studying Clinical Psychology at university. I started working here as a big sister to the Prince Louis Rwagasore family and later became the grade coordinator of the Ishema grade. I now serve as the Alumni Relations Officer and seven years on, I am still in love with the Village. I strongly believe in the ASYV philosophies of Tikkun Halev and Tikkun Olam.”

KARASIRA SEVERIN ((pictured left)
“Before gaining employment with ASYV, I had worked as a builder, a painter and even a chef. But it was my experience working as the landscape gardener for the Presbyterian Church of Rwanda in Kigali that led to my employment at ASYV. Seven years ago, I was hired by ASYV as the Landscape Maintenance Manager. When I arrived there was very little grass and few trees because the soil here was not very fertile. I brought some seeds and special fertilizer from my home in Kigali to help the plants grow strong and healthy. Over time, I was able to achieve many great things here including the planting of all the banana, avocado and mango trees that help feed the kids d staff members in the Village. I love working at ASYV mostly because I get to do what I feel passionate about every day, whilst contributing to a noble cause.”
"I was a member of the Henry Dunart family and graduated back in January. I had no hope before being selected to live and study in the Village and I only ever went to school because I had to. It was upon arriving at ASYV that it became obvious to me that this was the best opportunity I'd ever have to build a positive future for myself. I came to realize that a good education was the key to improving my life. I became serious about my studies which gradually increased both my knowledge and confidence. I now work as the hospitality intern here in the Village and hope to one day provide others with the same opportunities as were given to me."

NATIONAL EXAM RESULTS | EDUCATION
O
n February 18th, we were delighted to receive news that our Ingenzi grade students had passed their national exams with flying colours.
Before arriving at the Village, many of our students lacked the education, motivation and confidence required for the outstanding results they’ve achieved.
Following four years of hard work combined with the high-quality education system offered here in the Village, we are proud to announce that 120 of our students passed out of 122! Furthermore, 83% of them passed in two or more subjects, meaning they are now eligible for scholarships at any university in Rwanda.
Liquidnet Family High School principal, Bonaventura Mujeneza remarked, “One of the main factors behind the academic success of ASYV students is their background. ASYV admits students based upon their vulnerability rather than academic competence - which can sometimes bring about
complacency. The students embrace all the opportunities available to them and develop a positive spirit of competition, which in the end culminates into their success.”
Special Congratulations to ...
...
JOHNSON CLEVER MANDELA who scored 100% in his exams and is ranked 6th in Rwanda for the MCP (Math, Computer, Physics) combination.
GRACE UWERA who scored 100% in her exams and is ranked 1st in Rwanda for Economics and 7th for Arts.
CHRISTIAN NDUWUMWAMI who is ranked 9th in Rwanda for Economics.

VINCENT KALIMBA: VILLAGE DIRECTOR
Vincent Kalimba: Village Director
Many changes have taken place over the past few months at the ASYV. With Jean -Claude Nkulikiyimfura recently being appointed as the new Executive Director, it left the position of Village Director vacant. After a long and meticulous search for his replacement, we are both excited and delighted to announce that we have found the perfect successor to JC in Vincent Kalimba. A few months into his position, the Village Times decided to check in with our new Village Director.
Briefly summarize for us where you grew up and what you studied. I was born in Uganda on February 24th, 1983 as the last child in a family of 10 (two brothers, six sisters girls and both parents). Unfortunately, I lost my father when I was only nine years old, but my siblings and I were raised by a strong, courageous, caring and loving mother.
30
Growing up as a refugee, I was stigmatized during my primary education in Uganda. I often experienced hostility toward my family and fellow Rwandese because Uganda was not our country of birth. We would sometimes be accused of stealing resources that did not belong to us. I believe that the xenophobia my family and I were subjected to is what gave us the courage to work hard and seize any opportunities that were available to us.
I returned to Rwanda with my family in 1995 and began high school at one of the best public institutions in the country - Lycee de Kigali. I chose to study Bio-Chemistry (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Geography + languages), in advanced level, and later went on to earn my BSc degree in Food Science and Technology at the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology.
PEOPLE
Can you tell us a little about your professional background? I have over seven years experience working directly with communities – of youth in particular, in the areas of employment and economic development. My main focus has been on program planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. I'm also well practiced in proposal writing, project design, partnership establishment and stakeholder management; from small community groups to major institutional donors.
My first job was as a Quality Assurance Supervisor at Inyange Limited – Rwanda’s leading beverage producing company. I used all of the knowledge, skills and experience gained whilst obtaining my BSc degree in Food Science and Technology during my tenure there.
Between 2011 and 2015, I worked for Technoserve Inc as a Senior Business Advisor for the Regional Youth Development Program (Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania). It was my responsibility to sustainably improve livelihoods and income potential for 72,000 youth between the age of 18-30.
From 2009 – 2011, I worked as a Business Development Specialist and later as the Organization Coordinator for the USAID Dairy Competitiveness Project. Our mission was to make Rwandan dairy industry more competitive within the region.
31
VINCENT KALIMBA: VILLAGE DIRECTOR
What made you choose to work for the ASYV? I first heard about the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village in 2012. The mission of the Village was one that I could relate to and after reading about the successes of the organization, I was left extremely impressed. My high expectations of the Village were exceeded upon being given the chance to attend Village Time last year. Truly speaking, I am elated to have recently been appointed the new Village Director of this incredible organization. Drawing reference to the mission of the Village (which resonates deeply with my passion for youth empowerment), I have come to understand that the difference between a career and a calling is conviction! I therefore take this as an opportunity to serve the purpose for which I was most likely created. Sharing my background and experience (which is similar to many of the ASYV kids) makes me feel like I'm where I'm meant to be. Throughout my entire life I have always enjoyed working with youth, from capacity building to mentoring. Furthermore, I have always wished to work with orphans and that is
32
exactly why I am convinced that this is my calling in life. It is absolutely true that ASYV is more than just a village. It is a home, a family for many, and the entire mission and philosophy is one that encompasses hope and clear direction for the future of our kids. I feel so privileged to have been given the opportunity to contribute toward the process of transforming our kids into responsible citizens.
responsibilities to the ultimate mission of the institution by September 2016. Develop partnerships with relevant institutions around entrepreneurship and to implement the entrepreneurship curriculum to ASYV by April 2016. Work on staff capacity building - focusing on facilitation skills, effective communication and management by June 2016. Develop the infrastructure required for a practical leadership and mentorship program in order to encourage students to become well accustomed to sensible decision making and implementation. The long-term goals that I have planned for the Village are to:
What are your long and short-term goals for the Village? The short-term goals that I have planned for the Village are to: Develop a Theory of Change which shall establish a clear link between staff roles and
Establish solid Monitoring & Evaluation and performance management systems. Install a culture of entrepreneurship and provide the resources required to increase the economic potential of our students and alumni. Develop a high sense of responsibility and ownership among students.
PEOPLE
What message do you have to all of our supporters/donors? Speaking as a Rwandese and also the ASYV Village director, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all of our supporters and donors for your unprecedented contribution and support. It is your generosity that has made it possible for all of us in the ASYV family to deliver on the mission for which ASYV was founded. I would also like to pledge my contribution toward the realization of all planned interventions that contribute to the healing, empowerment and self-reliance of our students. Together, we can help them on their journeys to becoming positive change makers for themselves and others.

ASYV ON THE WING
ASYV
on the Wing At ASYV, we have recorded over 120 different bird species! In this issue, we take a look at some of the more conspicuous avifauna one might spot in the Village.
African Harrier- hawk (Polyboroides typus) DIET: Small Mammals, Birds, Fruit HABITAT: Woodland, Urban Areas FACT: The African harrier-hawk, or gymnogene is a bird of prey. It is about 60–66 cm in length, and is related to the harriers. It breeds in most of Africa south of the Sahara. The only other member of the genus is the allopatric Madagascan harrier-hawk. It builds a stick nest in the fork of a tree or the crown of a palm tree. The clutch is one to three eggs. The African harrier-hawk is omnivorous, eating the fruit of the oil palm as well as hunting small vertebrates. Its ability to climb, using wings as well as feet, and its long double-jointed legs, enable this bird to raid the nests of cavity-nesters such as barbets and woodhoopoes for fledglings.
34
CAMPUS
Pin-tailed Whydah (Vidua macroura) DIET: Seeds and Grain HABITAT: Grassland, Scrubs, Savannah FACT: The species is a brood parasite which lays its eggs in the nests of estrildid finches, especially waxbills. Unlike the common cuckoo, it does not destroy the host’s eggs. Typically, 2-4 eggs are added to those already present. The eggs of both the host and the firefinch are white, although the whydah’s are slightly larger. The nestling whydahs mimic the gape pattern of the fledglings of the host species. The male pin-tailed whydah is territorial, and one male often has several females in his small group. He has an elaborate courtship flight display, which includes hovering over the female to display his tail. The song is given from a high perch, and consists of rapid squeaking and churring.
Southern Red Bishop (Euplectes orix) DIET: Seeds and Insects HABITAT: Grass, Reeds, Sedges, Savannah FACT: It is 10–11 centimetres long and has a thick conical bill. Breeding males are brightly coloured with red (occasionally orange) and black plumage. The non-breeding male and female have streaky brown plumage. Females are smaller than the males. It has various twittering calls and a nasal contact call. The male has a buzzing song. It is a fairly gregarious bird, nesting in colonies and foraging in flocks. It often roosts in mixed flocks with other members of the weaver family. At the start of the breeding season, the males build several nests to attract females. They perform a display flight with their feathers fluffed up. They are polygynous and mate with several females. The nest is most commonly built among reeds and is made of grasses and other plant materials woven together. Two to four eggs are laid.
