As a young boy, accompanied by his grandmother’s cattle keeper, he chanced upon a baby of less than two months, crying and teetering on the brink of freezing to death, abandoned in the undergrowth. He expeditiously reported this discovery to his sector office and subsequently to the Rusayo orphanage center in Rusizi District, where the child was nurtured and blossomed into a beautiful individual.
