The One Dollar Campaign very significant

Last night the One Dollar Campaign was launched. Over USD 50,000 was raised in cash and pledges. It is hoped that within the next 100 days as we remember those that perished in the horrific Genocide against Tutsis, more pledges and donations will be realised. This will be used to construct 500 houses for children who were orphaned by the genocide. It is part of the country’s efforts to wipe the tears off these children’s faces. It is an effort to give these children hope that much as they lost their parents during that horrific period, Rwandans are with them and Rwanda is their parent. No one can replace a parent but with a little care and support, the pain can be alleviated. The significance of the One Dollar Campaign lies in numbers and the idea behind it. That even the biggest figure starts from one. If we all chip in whatever our capacities, a lot will be achieved.
