Introduce Yourself

Hi everyone, I’m Bruno, writing from Kigali, Rwanda. I have been working there for around 7 years, but I’m originally from Paris, France.

I am an Early Childhood Development passionate, working for a social enterprise called Happy Hearts - an upcoming network of international Montessori Daycare & Preschool serving an ECD foundation aiming to strengthen access to quality ECD services for underprivileged communities in Kigali!

Apart from that, I’m a father of 2 boys, and I’m always excited to learn new things, especially through play! A pleasure to connect with you all.
