    Excitement as Rwanda Day 2013 opens in London

    Hundreds of Rwandans graced Rwanda Day 2013 in Boston (USA)

    Excitement is visibly high among Rwandans and friends of Rwanda as they gather for Rwanda Day 2013 event organised in London. It is being held under the theme: Agaciro: Deliverying Prosperity

    As hundres descend on London, many more have taken to the social media to express their excitement over the Rwanda Day event. Tweeter is already flooded with comments:

    Writing on tweeter, Albert Rudasimburwa said:” #Rwandaday has become [an] exciting event connecting the Diaspora with their motherland. He adds that the event is for “sharing our story with our peeps & friends. Gahuzamiryango connecting”

    Expressing excitement over President Kagame’s presence at the event, Patrick Hutton says, “the UK Rwandan Diaspora and friends of Rwanda look forward to your presence at Rwanda Day UK!”

    For Nanojv, Rwanda Day brings together Rwandans and friends of #Rwanda. He adds that, “Agaciro is a model of resilience, optimism, and moral strength for all the Nations in Africa and beyond…”

    Another tweep, Mbabazi Xavier, also focused on Agaciro as the theme of the day, where he says,  “Agaciro ni Ukwiyubaha, Gushingira ku byawe mbere y’ibindi no kubyishimira”. Loosely translated, he says, realising one’s dignity is about focusing and taking pride in what one has gained before anything else.

    Bringing a fresh angle to the discussion, Rwema Cyusa, focused on remittances from Rwandans living abroad, where he says Rwanda values the contribution that its diaspora has on Rwanda’s development and foreign exchange. “Remittances grew from US$42.8 million in 2005 to US$139 million in 2008, reaching about US$170 million by 2011”.

    According to Chantal Dusaidi ‏, Agaciro (dignity) is about knowing where one is coming from and knowing he/she is  going!

    The social media talk on Rwanda Day 2013 also attracted Clare Akamanzi, the CEO of Rwanda Development Board. She tweeted about her experience and excitement of attending Rwanda Day events. ”[I] look forward to #RwandaDay in London. Always energising to see our diaspora well connected to their rootsand and [I am] eager to be part of their country’s development.

    Millions more will be able to follow the colourful Rwanda Day 2013 event on social media and live streaming on www.rwandaday.org.
