Diane wants to be a nurse when she grows up!
Before joining MindLeaps, 12-year-old Diane was often very lonely when she got home from school because she didn’t have a network of peers to socialize with. Now, she has a lot of friends at MindLeaps and a place to go after school. At home, she is an only child and lives alone with her mother since her father left the family. Her mother sells vegetables on the street, but she must be careful because street vendors have been outlawed in Rwanda. Because her mother does not make very much money, Diane also loves that MindLeaps is sponsoring her school fees. She struggles at times to learn math and English in school, but appreciates the extra academic support she gets at MindLeaps. She absolutely loves dance class!
