Gahungu went on to say that they expect to grant them beauty lotions for their skins\u2019 diseases. \u201cWe are engaged in fighting against their discrimination and wish to see them living like other children\u201d, he underlined.<\/p>\n<p>Serges Daouda, a Gabonese and governor of district 9.150 appreciated the initiative of Rotary Club Bujumbura-Ingoma for their long-standing partnership with this albinos\u2019 association. \u201cI govern ten countries of Central Africa Rotary International, but it is the first time I see such a well-organized association for 26 years I have just spent in that Rotary Club.

Keep trusting us, our mission won\u2019t end in failure\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ingoma Rotary Club Bujumbura-Ingoma intervenes not only in education but also in health domains precisely in the fight against polio. \u201cWe have another target group.
