How Roma Waited and Waited, and Is Funding a Camp Now!

Our friends, it’s been months since we shared the news about the end of our NGO registration struggles, and now we have another milestone to share: there is a Gorilla Highlands Experts (GHE) bank account in existence! Thrilling, right? We know you have been wondering how to fund our much-needed activities with Rwandan youth …

… Just like our friend Roma from Slovenia, who blessed our account with a considerable amount this week! She was in the same Scout unit as Miha and then they lost contact for years. During the pandemic she heard about GHE and being a curious mind, she was enthusiastic to learn more and support us as much as she could. She had been asking for a bank account since 2022!

Well, it didn’t end with the donation — she also showed up at our weekly meeting recently, with a big smile on her face. “I believe the ideas GHE carries are genuinely good. They mean growth on all levels for everyone involved,” Roma says. 

Her contribution is going to go towards the upcoming end-of-the-year feast: the GHE Christmas Camp taking place on Cyuza Island, Lake Burera, from 20 to 23 December 2023. The Camp will be a little different than last year, even better, a day longer and definitely still crucial to the youngsters.

We need more generosity like Roma’s to bring together young leaders of the Gorilla Highlands region and celebrate nature, culture, peace and prosperity! The theme of this year’s Camp: from ideation to action and from action to evaluation. 

As you have been in a position to follow, this year is very productive for both GHE and the youngsters of Musanze taking part in Youth Spaces, so it’s time to end with a celebration of togetherness; we are counting on you to make it happen!
