 We are very happy for giving our special thanks to every body that support us during this passed academic year 2008. Our Centre de Formation Père Vjeko opened the new academic year on 7/01/2008 with 203 students in three sections: carpentry, building and tailoring.
We closed the year on 28/11/2008; every body was very happy; teachers, students, and parents. 74 students had completely finished their training and ready to compete on labour market. When I chatted with them after they came from working experience (students in the second year are going for working experience outside of the School) , they assure me: when we have been there, we realised that we carry a necessary baggage of knowledge that no one believe that we got it from the school. We worked like some one who has experience of many years. |

Vjeko was a very generous man. That’s why they headed for his parish from all the surrounding communes during the genocide. He used to visit the refugees at kabgayi regularly and comforted them in the face of death. He didn’t flee like the other foreigners. He stayed at the side of his parishioners. 
I am Nanyonga Aminah from Uganda. I am Ugandan and I studied at St. Francis tailoring school in Nyamitanga at Mbarara, Uganda. Immediately after finishing my studies in 2004 I came to work here in Rwanda at a school called CFJ. It was in 2005 that I was sent by Mary Moran, Director of St Francis tailoring school. At that time the Tailoring Section had only one teacher. As soon as I came, we started working together and to develop the Tailoring Section and even we divided the Tailoring Section into (two) years: I and II. We also developed the system of using timetables and programs for the tailoring course with the help of Father Ivica and the teachers from St Francis Nyamitanga.
