Project Ubuntu (Humanity) at College Louis Riel


Saturday, in the late afternoon, I had the opportunity to meet Christine Guyot and Ornella Atangana (photo above) who are involved in the Ubuntu project at College Louis Riel. This project builds links with people and communities in Africa. At the moment, they are focused particularly on Rwanda. Their goal is to build links which can assist in education, health care and the development of small businesses.

For ten years the College Louis Riel has helped adolescents and young adults who have come recently from Africa. Yesterday, I met those who had come from Rwanda, Kenya, Cameroun, Guinea, Burundi and the Congo. I want to congratulate all the students who are involved. In the photo, I am wearing one of the Ubuntu College Louis Riel shirts to support the project.

For more information, or to help with project Ubuntu, send an email to Mayur Raval (mraval@atrium.ca), Christina Doche (cdoche@atrium.ca) or Dave Rondeau (drondeau@atrium.ca).

Last night was a special occasion, because Romeo Dallaire was coming to talk to them.
