Qatar Airways donates to the Gisimba Memorial Center (Rwanda)
24/12/2012
Two days ago Qatar Airways donated school bags, to the orphenage located in Nyarugenge district, in Kigali. "This is a beautiful Christmas gift for the orphenage", Ben Mutia said, the Qatar Airways Commercial Manager in Rwanda.
“Whatever we do we have to be responsive to the needs of society,’’ he said.
Ben Mutia has also encouraged orphans to work hard, to have a bright future.
The orphanage’s Legal Representative Damas Gisimba Mutezintare, has appreciated the Qatar Airways's contribution for its orphenage. He said, that the orphenage currently faces of some difficulties to provide school materials and fees to satisfy all orphans.
“We are also caring for other 105 orphans living in families and who really need school fees and materials, but donors reach only those who are in this orphanage,’’ he said.
Qatar Airways started flights to Rwanda, on March 2012. The airline operates a daily service between Doha and Kigali, with an Airbus A320.
