RWANDA’S hopes of competing for the first time in the FIVB Swatch Junior World Championships ended in a rather strange style after the team was denied visas by the host country, Canada.Rwanda Volleyball Federation Executive Secretary Gertrude Kubwimana said the Canadian embassy in Nairobi based their rejection of Rwanda’s request for the visas on the fact that the delegation "does not have enough money for the trip.” "We have done our best and the team was supposed to depart on Sunday but the Canadian embassy was not willing to grant us visas, so it is over for us, and it’s sad for the team that they won’t compete at the world stage after doing so well to qualify, but we can’t do anything about it,” said Kubwimana.                 The team has been in residential training in Rubavu since the start of this month and the girls were targeting to repeat the form that saw them win the African championship held in Togo. The team of Denise Mutatsimpundu and Charlotte Nzayisenga qualified last month after beating South African opponents in the final. The World Championships starts on August 29 until September 3 in Halifax-Canada.According to Kubwimana, the government gave the team Rwf11m for the six-day tournament, but the Canadian embassy insisted that it’s not enough.
