A big day in JRYC!

We posed for a picture after the meeting.


Months after colleges restructuring that affected JRYC operations, we have found new feet again!
On this Thursday, March 1st 2018, JRYC family welcomed a cohort of new members that joined the course to achieving this association's mission and objectives.

In the welcoming meeting that convened in UR Huye Campus, you could see a lot of mixed emotions on all attendants faces. New comers were very eager to know more about their new so-called family, and of course, actual members couldn't wait to finally meet their new friends.


JRYC Coordinator addressing the new comers.
"Since you came to University of Rwanda, I am sure that most of you have had projects on mind. You have been dreaming of ways to make a change in the society you live in. You have joined a group of people with the same goals and commitment, just like you. This is now your opportunity to collaborate; learn from each other", insisted Mr Lucky BARAHEBUZA, JRYC Coordinator.

We boasted a very large number of applications this year. At the end, after a careful analysis and a series of interviews, only 20 outstanding applicants were selected. Congratulations boys and girls!

At the time of interview sessions, early this month

In Ancient time, China developed all of the hallmarks of advanced civilization, including written language, advanced cities, specialized labor and bronze technology, as much as  2000 years before Japan . As a result, China, and its culture, had an enormously large influence on the younger culture, sharing its philosophies, political structures, architecture, Buddhism, clothing styles and even its written language. In fact, the earliest known written account of Japan was found in a Chinese book. With such a powerful influence, it stands to reason that, when Japan was described early in its development, it was from a Chinese perspective. And when the Chinese looked east to Japan, they looked in the direction of the dawn. Early Japanese History By the time the  first Japanese ambassador  was sent to the Chinese Han eastern capital in 57 AD, Japan was called  Wa  ( Wo ), a name that also designated the Japanese people.
