Kazeneza starts second year of college
This December, Kazeneza completed her first year of studies at the University of Kigali. She worked and studied with diligence, particularly during the challenges of the pandemic.
She finished with a “B” average. She is thrilled to begin her second year of studies.
My Sister’s Donation
My sister, Karen Hatch, received a diagnosis of a life-threatening illness in August 2020. Under hospice care at her home, Karen stayed up late one night before Christmas talking with me. Karen told me that she wanted to make a donation to a nonprofit, to something that she cared about. And she wanted to learn more about the educational nonprofit. She wanted to hear the stories of the women we’d offered scholarships.
Kaze’s Connection
From Nicole Gross-Camp, Visitng Professor of Environmental Science and Sustainability, Alleghney College:
I have only met Kazeneza on a handful of occasions; I ‘know’ her best through her father and friend, Martin. In the many evenings we passed together in the park, our respect and affection for one another grew. Rwandans, as in many other cultures, put a lot of expectations on their children, especially their first born. Martin was no different expecting Kazeneza to accomplish great things. We began to support Kaze’s studies in high school and were thrilled to learn of her success in securing a place at University.
