Students travel to Kigali for NABU Expo

Through our partnership with NABU, an international nonprofit that creates online libraries in native languages, REAP’s CLCL was selected to participate the launch of NABU’s iOS version of the online library.
Officials and staff from NABU joined 24 students, parents and REAP staff in a reading session to officially launch the iOS app early this month. The following week, ten students from our community traveled to the Kigali Convention Center to showcase their digital literacy in front of more than 300 people. The event was attended by the Director of Rwanda Education Board and the Director of Kigali Public Library. Students
received prizes from NABU for their brave and skillful presentation before such an intimidating audience. For most of our students, it was the first time they travel by car and their first trip to the capital.

Due to a generous donation from Leman Manhattan Preparatory School, the CLCL has 35 iPads available for the community to access this new app.
