Buterere News
Hello everyone,
The online village has been fairly quiet lately. Therefore, I am writing this newsletter to update you all on what has been happening on the ground in Buterere, Burundi. From Jean-Claude, the LR, I have the following information:
A. Terimbere University (our higher school project)
We set up a team of 4 persons who are playing a role of Advisor to
assist us in planning for a University project. They help us to
produce best documents which will be presented to the Ministry for
approval of our University school.
With this group, we have completed the task:
-To draft University Status,
-To draft Academic Constitution
-To draft Adamic Chapters.
-To draft Academic Courses programs
B. The conference
**now scheduled for 17 October, 2009**
The goal of the conference is for ELECTING THE UNIVERSITY ORGANS,
AMEND THE UNIVERSITY DRAFTED DOCUMENTS AND ADOPT THEM by the General
Assembly as it is recommended by the Ministry of Higher Education and
Scientific Research.
Still, we are in need of approx. $500 for this conference
