When I see elders and youth alike sweating side by side to rebuild what neglect has broken, it rekindles my faith in the power of our community. This isn&#8217;t just about gravel and dirt; it&#8217;s about writing our own destiny with bare hands,&#8221; said Hamika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Cue in \u2026 Chairperson Hamika.

I urge local leaders and residents to act quickly so they don\u2019t miss out on this opportunity,&#8221; Ndikuyeze stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Cue in &#8230; Ndikuyeze on USMID.
