September 25 – Kamarampaka Day

Posted on September 25, 2017

Today is the anniversary of the abolishment, in 1961, of the Rwandan monarchy.

Here are some interesting things about Rwanda:

  • People only eat meat once or twice a month. Today might be an important enough day to warrant a meal with meat!


  • More than half of all meals eaten in Rwanda include sweet potatoes, and about half include beans of some sort. 

  • A special day might warrant beer made of a cereal grain called sorghum. Instead of each person drinking beer getting his or her own glass of beer, a large pot is placed in the center of the room with multiple straws.
  • Rwanda is called the "Land of the Thousand Hills." Lovely: 


  • Rwanda is a colorful place. Check out Rwanda in blues, greens, pinks, and multi-colors:





  • Rwanda is known for its wonderful animals:
