The Embassy of China in Rwanda, in partnership with the District of Gasabo and Rwanda China Alumni Organization (RCAO) on Thursday, August 27, donated foodstuff to 300 teachers most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in Gasabo district.
The support includes; 18 tonnes of food like rice, maize flour, beans, oil, salt and washing soaps, detergents and other basics worth Rwf22.6 million.
Xing Yuchun, the Political Counsellor and Deputy Ambassador of China to Rwanda told The New Times that the support is in bid to assist teachers in private schools whose jobs were halted by the pandemic.

“In China, teachers make up one of the most important communities and I think it is the same in Rwanda. This support is to help them hold up their lives until their normal lives are restored,” she explained.
Xing Yuchun emphasized that as Rwanda and China have been “sister countries” for over 45 years, they are both willing to support each other during Covid-19 pandemic.
