Nsabimana Jean Pierre & Zaninka Scola

[1]

Zaninka Scola was born shortly after her father’s death and only got to know her mother for a short time before she died. In this story, her elder brother Nsabimana Jean Pierre shares with her all that she wants to know about their parents: their marriage, their values, their care for them as children. His message to her is partly summed up in a Rwandese proverb that means, ‘no one shall receive what they have not earned.’ He also passes to her the legacy given to him by their father that they must always share what they have with others.

“I can only give you the convinction that you are not alone. In the same way you don’t have your mother, neither do I. We need to work together to prepare for our future.” Nsabimana Jean Pierre

“Now that we don’t have parents and our education is being supported by other people, shouldn’t we also consider following the example of our new benefactors or should we only learn from our parents? What advice can you give me on this?” Zaninka Scola
