“My name is Eric KUBWIMANA and I was born in the countryside of Rwanda, Huye district(Butare) KABUSANZA cell. I was born as last of eight children. KABUSANZA(SIMBI Sector) is where my story begun and where my parents used to say Eric will be someone great in future. 

I grew up with three dreams (To be a teacher, To be a journalist, To speak with white people) and I remember when I talked to my mom used to told me that I must work hard and have team work to fill them.

My first dream was to become a teacher, does not matter what lesson will teach and how hard is going to be or how much time will take me to achieve it. That spirit makes me work hard during my studies because I used to say one day I would like to stand in front of the people and teach them. When I finished my primary school, I performed well during national examination and I got high score  that allowed me to continue in advanced level (secondary school). Unluckily my family had no money to pay my school fees at the private school. In order to continue the education i had to have a break for gathering money. After one year I decided to go to free public school. There I started to learn more English and studied hard to fulfil  my dreams. After sometime at school  I started representing my school in some competitions.Later on I chose studying literature in English, French and Kinyarwanda because I thought will help me to achieve my dreams and now I teach about coffee (professional coffee tour guide) 

My second dream was to be a journalist. According to my behaviors when I was a kid, I used to stand in front of other kids and introduce to them what’s the news, how they can present their thoughts publically.

The third dream was to be a tour guide (to speak with white people). At this moment I am a professional tour guide specialized in coffee and wildlife safaris. I really like this job because it fulfills my dreams and let me develop myself further. But I don’t want to stop here. To be an independent tour guide and expand my business, I need to have car on my own. Unfortunately in current financial situation I can not afford it ( cars in Rwanda are very expensive comparing to salaries)

With your help I can achieve my dreams!"

I will gather money on my German account and transfer it to Eric's as soon as the sum needed for the car is there.
