U.S. Ambassador to Rwanda Peter H. Vrooman recognized International Albinism Awareness Day on Monday June 14, with a series of events expected this weekend to highlight issues faced by persons with albinism and the advocacy role of the Organization for Integration and Promotion of People with Albinism (OIPPA).
On Saturday, Ambassador Vrooman handed over 150 boxes of food for families of persons with albinism, which OIPPA delivered to 65 families in Kigali, 45 families in Musanze, and 40 families in Rutsiro.
The made-in-Rwanda food boxes were prepared by GET IT, a leading commercial food distribution company in Kigali and a member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Rwanda. The food box donation was a way to celebrate persons with albinism with a larger community while mindful of COVID-19 restrictions.
