About YEGO Rwanda
YEGO is a Kinyarwanda word meaning YES. YEGO or YES to building a truly loving and hopeful generation in Rwanda.
The YEGO Foundation says "YES" to helping support and empower Rwandan orphans to:
Heal from trauma
Obtain education and develop skills
Grow physically and spiritually
Unite and reconcile with other Tutsi and Hutu orphans
Instil hope for the future
Is there a way to support the specific piece of this Foundation that targets teaching ballet to children?
Thanks for your note. Our Rwanda director Emmanuel Gatera will be arriving in Canada this weekend. I’ll pass your inquiry on to him, and have hi, respond. Thanks again.
Hi CEHilliard, I am sorry for getting in touch late. Thanks a lot for your idea of exploring to support teaching ballet to our children. It is a good idea and possible . But the challenge is to have somebody who is qualified to help us teach that. But it is worthy pursuing.
Best wishes
Emmanuel Gatera
Executive Director.
