Woman abandons children at Mayors’ residence

Muhanga district Mayor, Yvonne Mutakwasuku.

MUHANGA - A resident of Shyogwe Sector on Monday, decided to abandon her three children at the residence of Muhanga District Mayor, Yvonne Mutakwasuku, in protest over the district’s reluctance to find a solution to her troubles.

Shadia Kangabi accused district officials of unlawfully confiscating her bricks worth over Rwf7million last year.

“I decided to do so because the Mayor has been the cause of my poverty. I cannot afford to look after my children and I have been given a deadline to move out of a house we rent,” Kangabi said.

She also threatened to move into the Mayor’s house with her husband and other dependants if the district keeps ignoring her plight.

Kangabi claims that Vivens Ukubaho, the district tax officer and Aimable Twahirwa, a former Shsogwe Sector leader, illegally confiscated and used bricks belonging to Urukundo Association for their own benefits, under the guise of dealing with illegal environmental activities.

The Mayor did not respond to the latest threat, but, in an earlier interview, said that Kangabi’s case involved illegal brick making and the property was lawfully confiscated, ‘The case has been handed over to the police for investigations,’ the Mayor said.

Home Study Interview Completed Tonight!!

Well...we walked in the back door at 7:30 p.m., as the social worker walked in the front door for our family interview! We had been in DE all afternoon, caught in traffic coming home, and made it just in time to greet her. Caroline surprised us by having a fantastic dinner of curried chicken, basmati rice and chick peas waiting for us. We were starving and it smelled delicious! She also went to great lengths to welcome the social worker, having set out a tray of tea and treats in the living room for her to enjoy as she interviewed us one by one. What a great start to a terrific evening!

The interview was fun, relaxed and flew by. The girls had computer sharing issues downstairs, but never let us know....they waited until AFTER the meeting to air their disagreements. Aaaah, the joy of older children! We were so proud of them for their participation, their genuine enthusiasm and preparation for the night when we really had no way of being here to get the house in order for our guest. She was also a Christian, which made sharing our hearts and faith effortless....so very surprising and refreshing on both sides. We had no idea what to expect.

And now...we move forward on the paper chase, just like everyone else. Here we go!

On the Road to Rwanda

This road to Rwanda is a favorite one of ours. It is long, takes immense planning, costs a lot of money and has pay-offs that are beyond measure. Between the two of us, I think we have 10 trips logged into our passports. We are looking to add two more...we have just begun the journey of international adoption from Rwanda. What do you think about that?!
