Rise And Shine Rwanda : ARTIST PROFILE: NIYONSENGA
From street kid, to artist, to entrepreneur and beyond, today’s profile is about a man who came from humble beginnings and came out a pillar of society, opening his own art gallery and helping underprivileged families to survive. I went to visit owner of Niyo Arts Gallery, Niyonsenga to hear about his journey.
Rwandan dances at NIYO CULTURAL CENTRE
NIYONSENGA Pacifique is the founder of the Niyo Cultural Centre dedicated to improving the lives of street children. He lived on the street from age 6 but was lucky enough to have met a Canadian called Bruno who befriended him and helped him get an education. As an adult he saw that not every child living in poverty in Kigali, Rwanda, whether on the street or not, has the same opportunity as he did, so he decided to use his 17 years of drumming and dance experience to support 60 children. He teaches them these skills so that they can perform to earn money to pay for their education, medical expenses and day-to-day living. They don’t get paid for their performances; they rely on donations from venue patrons to help give these children a chance. NIYO CULTURAL CENTRE is located in KIGALI - RWANDA. for more information about these kids, visit: niyoculturalcentre.org

Rwanda arts by Yego Arts
Yego Arts Studio is a fine arts studio in Kigali which currently counts ten well-established painters among its membership. The studio was founded in January 2013 by Tony Cyizanye. Using money he had earned from the sale of his own paintings, he organized a group of local artists and community members to remodel an unused building in the Nyarutarama neighborhood into a professional art studio. The mission of Yego Arts is to create a vibrant, self-sustaining community of established visual artists in Rwanda, and to create new avenues for Rwandans to use the arts as a means of healing and generating sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their children.
In addition to housing the professional gallery, the studio brings together folks of all ages to create collaborative murals, hosts free weekly performances by local dancers and musicians, and offers free art lessons and part-time jobs to local youth.

Rwanda Travel Guide
Rwanda Travel Guide
Rwanda is a relatively stable East African country, and easily accessible from Kenya and Uganda. It is relatively easy, safe and simple to travel around. Its renowned Volcanoes National Park is home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. The park encompasses 4,507m-tall Mt. Karisimbi and 4 other forested volcanoes. In the southwest is Nyungwe National Park, with ancient montane rainforest that's a habitat for chimpanzees and other primates.
Rwanda is landlocked, surrounded by Uganda to the north, Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Rwanda is not only the land of a thousand hills, but also a country rich in flora and fauna and stunning natural beauty in its scenic rolling and breathtaking green savannah. The country hosts some rare species of animals like the silverback mountain gorillas as well as unique birds and insects in the tropical forest of Nyungwe.
It's been more than two decades since the civil war and genocide of 1994 that devastated this tiny country, and it's come a long way, being now a member of the Commonwealth. Expect a warm and friendly welcome to a beautiful country, as well as security advisories.

Kinyarwanda is the chief spoken language in Rwanda. It is also spoken in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo and in the south of Uganda (Bufumbira-area). Kinyarwanda is a language of the Bantu linguistic family. It is closely related to Kirundi spoken in the neighboring country Burundi and to Giha of western Tanzania.
English and French are also official languages, and many residents (particularly in urban areas) will speak one or the other in addition to Kinyarwanda.
The Genocide Memorial in Kigali is a good insight into one of the world's greatest tragedies. It's free to walk around but audio guides are $15. The Nyamata Genocide Memorial is a worthwhile complement to the Gisozi Memorial Centre in Kigali. Located in the town of Nyamata, 40 minutes south of Kigali on a newly paved road, the memorial is in a church where over 10,000 people were killed during the 1994 genocide. The Ntarama Genocide Memorial, just 20 minutes away from the Nyamata memorial, is also worth visiting. National Museum of Butare in Huye is the National Museum of Rwanda.
Lake Kivu in Western Rwanda is a large lake bordering the DRC, it's a nice place to relax for a week or so. Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park) , home of the mountain gorillas, and the setting for Gorillas in the Mist, author Dian Fossey's research. If you can afford it it's an excellent experience, and even possible as a daytrip from Kigali.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
