A victory for the Republic of Burundi was achieved as the Honorary Ambassador at Large, Clyde Rivers, together with his Top Advisor of Diplomatic Relations, Dr. Rachael Schweiger, visited Mount Scott Elementary School in Happy Valley, Oregon, USA on Thursday, February 17, 2011. The Ambassador visited the school to recognize the Mount Scott-Burundi Education Project that has the students at Mount Scott raising funds to buy school supplies for a partner school in Burundi. Ambassador Rivers commented, “It’s a great day for Burundi when we can watch two worlds connect!” The amazing students at Mount Scott showed their excellent character when they adopted a program to help a country that was not their own. Top Advisor, Dr. Schweiger said, “The encouragement from the principal and staff was evident in the students and in the outstanding program they created.” This young generation of students got a positive perspective on the great country of Burundi as they reached out to assist youth across the world.
