What’s love?

Many people are not able to define love but as Ec. Sc. De Musanze Marietta club we tried to explain it saying that love is to be proud of somebody. It is involuntary and  divided into three parts which are:

-The love between child and parents

-The social love which is that of God to the Christians

– the love between a girl and boy

they continued to explain  that the love between child and parents depend on how the parents love their children while the  social love is the one between the neighbor people (in the society).

The love between the girls and the boys has as aim to form a family, and this love is divided into 3 categories. First From 10 to 19 years old is called AURORE and it  is compared as the SUN RISE; the second  is from 20years to 30 which compared as HIRONDELLE and  3^rd one is for the married men and women which is called IRINDIRO.

In our  culture, the AURORE is not very acceptable because those persons are not seen to be mature for carrying all the responsibilities at their age.

Should the marriage of homosexual be condemned?

The marriage of homosexuals is one of the issues that are being introduced in many countries. As a religious school , we wanted to know more what religion relates to that issue. And some senior six students found the following:

First and foremost, marriage is a sacrament which is given to two persons of opposite sex meaning a man and a woman for the procreation of children, their up bringing and for their good being as spouses.

In fact; GOD created a man for a woman or a woman for a man not a man for a man or a woman for a woman. During their creation, GOD ordered them to go and procreate children until they equalize them with the sand of the sea, if  such homosexuals marriages weren’t condemned this order of God would not be respected because lesbians or homosexuals can not procreate.

Another parameter is that among the aims of marriage none of them should be    respected because of the fact of not having children therefore, they can not be called Spouses whereas they are for the same sex.

 It should be condemned because  of the means used to make their sexual intercourses, many diseases which are transmissible should increase their rate . Another point to show how it should be condemned is that when a man lives with his wife, there is a complementarity between them so that they many enrich each other

 But there will not be a such complementarity because lesbians and homosexuals are of the same sex, their cultures and behaviors are somehow the same.

To conclude, I can urge people as my colleagues to condemn marriage for lesbians and homosexuals so that the law of God be respected and the aims of marriage be attained as it should be.

A Reflection on Rwandan Genocide of 1994

Many books written by Rwandans in general talk about one story that happened in one hundred days since April till July. Those books can help strangers to know what Rwanda have been passing through that red and dark year of tragedy (1994). For Rwandans, it’s not the case, that story is engraved and marked in their minds and hands because they are with it everywhere. According to Rwandans, Rwanda is the home of the almighty God. But during that sad and dark period no one could believe that, it seems that  God had forgotten its own home because: old, adult, children and even babies have been facing things over their imaginations.                                                                                                                                                                       Husband killing wife, grandfather killing sons and daughters, dogs hunting people as rabbits. Roads and lakes were overlapped with innocent’s corps, their blood everywhere, widowers and orphans’ tears covered the whole country.

                               The main sickness that Rwandans are suffering from come from what they have seen during that strange year. Till now, Rwandans’ hearts are stretched by heavy wounds from the Genocide and their hands still shaking. For people who do not live inside the country, the Genocide is over. But, for Rwandans it is not yet over only because they still barring their people’s bodies from toilets to memorial sites. Till now a great number of us do not know where our family members died or have been buried. Rwanda’s wounds are not yet healed. Around the country there are many memorial sites, orphans Camps have been built, many organizations fighting against that Genocide’s consequences

 As a new generation, it is up to us to deal with all problems caused by Genocide; there are many orphans, widows and widowers in our country, many infrastructures was destroyed and many families are completely turned off. The survivors of genocide left with a great problem of trauma. Let us stand up and commit our self to contribute meaningfully and directly to the rebuilding of our country and give a great hope to those who was left with the problems of trauma. We have to speak all over the world the worst of Genocide and   fight until the end against the rehearsal of Genocide in this world. «Never again. »

OUR SCHOOL

ECOLE DES SCIENCES DE MUSANZE is located in the north of RWANDA. It is the first secondary school which introduced scientific options in our country since 1958. In these days it performs well academically in the country and is one of the secondary schools which sends many  students to continue their studies in the international universities, especially  in the United States of America. We are about 750 students in the school (Boys & Girls) who are boarding. Our school has two options: Physics-Chemistry-Maths and Maths-Chemistry-Biology together with Ordinary level.

who are we

We are students from RWANDA , a small country located in  the heart of AFRICA. After the GENOCIDE committed against  the Tutsis  and other tribal wars that our country faced  from 1959 to 1994, there was the destruction of the economic, social and political sectors of the country. It was observed that journalism is one of the sectors which played a big role in the demolition of the country’s progress. The Ministry of Information introduced Media Clubs  in secondary schools so that those Media clubs can learn much about journalism and teach their fellow students and the societies they are from about critical thinking and analytical skills so that our country will not face again those bad events.
