-----------------------------------------EditorGood news to hear that Ingoma Nshya Dance Troupe who comprises survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and relatives of genocide perpetrators are among the winners of this year’s Common Ground Awards. Personally, I watched them perform while in Huye District recently and I concluded that the sky is the limit to what these women will achieve.Indeed, they are role models to survivors of the Genocide against Tutsi and they are inspirational to Rwandan women and girls in general. They are also talented and they need support from government and all Rwandans.I am proud to be a woman in Rwanda. Come on Rwandan women!(Reaction to a story ‘Rwandan women drummers win’ published yesterday)Teta, Nyagatare
