Rwandan kids urge Meghan to sustain charity work after royal wedding
As U.S. actress Meghan Markle, a former ambassador for
charity World Vision, prepares to marry Prince Harry, children she met
in Rwanda sent goodwill messages and urged her to keep helping the poor
once she joins Britain’s royal family.
Markle visited Rwanda in 2016 with World Vision, which is
expanding access to clean water in rural areas. She toured the Gatsibo
district, 100 km (60 miles) northeast of Kigali, where a piped water
project provides drinking water for more than 130 families.
At Kanyangese Primary School children who spoke to Reuters TV recalled Markle’s visit.
“Being part of a royal family is an exceptional thing. I encourage
and hope that she will make history and that she will continue helping
poor people in the world,” said student Jean de Dieu Tuyishimire.
“I
encourage her to spread the values that come with being a princess.”
Student Valentine Umugisha wished Markle happiness in her new family
and said: “Not everyone gets to be a princess … congratulations.”
Markle ended her role with World Vision in order to “concentrate on new royal duties”.
In a statement on its website, the charity said: “Meghan carried out
invaluable work during her two years as a Global Ambassador for World
Vision, and we’re thrilled about her upcoming marriage to Prince Harry
on Saturday, May 19.”
