He will attend an assembly on Thursday, February 17^th to kick off the Mount Scott Elementary-Burundi Education Project that has the students at Mount Scott raising funds for school supplies for a school in Burundi.

Top Advisor for the Ambassador’s Office, Rachael Schweiger, who met with school officials, praised them saying, “The school’s spirit of excellence and enthusiasm to do this program is exactly what we need to continue advancing the country of Burundi.” We are working to achieve these same outstanding qualities throughout Burundi.
