A day in a life ... Eraste Byarugaba

Eraste Byarugaba is the Public Relations Officer at Rwanda National Examination Council (RNEC). Below, he shares with us how he spends his day of work;I wake-up at 5a.m. I bathe before having breakfast. At around 6:30, I set off for work. By 7a.m, I am in the office. I start my computer as I check on the day’s programme to decide on what to handle first. If I happen not to have accomplished something the previous day, that is what I have to deal with first. And before I decide on what to do next, sometimes there is a morning knock at the door. This forces me to leave everything and attend to that person. It is such people who may decide on what I have to do depending on their demands.Among other duties, I am in charge of giving information about the council’s activities, lead communication to other institutions as well as getting feedback. I also head to the field especially during examinations period. I go for lunch at noon where I spend an hour.I work until 6p.m when I head to Amahoro stadium for sports, though not always. I spend at least 2 hours exercising my body. By 8p.m, I head home to enjoy the evening with my wife and children. By 9, I have supper and get to bed at 10. Photo G. MugoyaMugoyag@yahoo.com
