Editor,Allow me, through your esteemed newspaper, to thank all teachers who try their best to educate our children – who are our future leaders. One of such teachers is Mr Joel Kisekka from Lycee de Kigali (LDK).He is a class teacher, a promotion teacher of senior three candidate classes, as well as a History instructor.I worked with him and he is a true role model of what the world of teaching and education should be.  He is one of those teachers who are examples of what a teaching profession should be. He is a self-motivated gentleman, a parent and a teacher who loves his job no matter the hardships it comes with. He is a humble and quite gentleman whose noise and activeness can only be seen and observed when he is in front of his History students.He is that silent example of what I have to be if I want to reap the fruits of being that teacher with whom students feel genuinely acceptable and can confide in. I enjoyed so much success while my students passed with excellent grades year in year out because of this man’s exemplary professional traits.There is certainly light at the end of the tunnel for all the students that have been lucky to pass through the hands of Mr Kisekka. Yet he is simply one of those hundreds of exemplary and hardworking teachers out there. They are true heroes for our society.Maxon J. KasumbaUSA
