Editor,

I want to thank the people working in the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) for giving 60 orphans and vulnerable children from the sectors of Kimihurura and Remera an opportunity to be trained in business administration. This great opportunity came after these 60 people submitted winning business plans.

This training, which is funded by World Vision through its Economic Development program, will help make these orphans and vulnerable children self reliant and job creators.

While the Rwanda Development Board and World Vision are giving these orphans and vulnerable children an opportunity to learn new skills, they have to put what they learn into practice. There is a wonderful saying that goes "you can take a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink”.

Therefore, the ball is in your court boys and girls, use this opportunity to improve your lives and those of people around you.
