Editor,

RE: "Why Rwanda’s transformation is a big deal” (The New Times, July 13).

I read this article from my hotel room in Lusaka, Zambia. The experience I have from here is that Rwanda’s success story transcends borders — people in Zambia are very impressed and follow what takes place in Rwanda.

Rwandans are marching toward self-reliance.

Rwanda is home to brave people; it may take time for the people with negative perceptions to understand this but it shall never take forever. Let’s keep working hard the Rwandan way.
