Nk’uko byagiye bigarukwaho n’abize muri iri shuri, ngo igihe cyabo ntabwo cyoroherezaga abana b’abakobwa ngo babashe kubona amahirwe yo kwiga, bityo basaba abahiga kuri ubu gushyiramo imbaraga nyinshi ngo babyaze umusaruro amahirwe bafite.

Bamwe mu banyeshuri bagize Chorale y’ikigo Urwunge rw’amashuri rw’abakobwa rw’i Rwaza.

Banoza Mariya Therese watangiranye n’iri shuri mu 1962, yavuze ko mu gihe cyabo kugirango umwana w’umukobwa yige byamusabaga imbaraga nyinshi, kubera imyaka myinshi yigaga n’ibizamini byinshi yagombaga gukora kugirango abashe kwinjira muri iryo shuri.

“Byasabaga kuba uzi gukora, ukunze kwiga kandi uzi ubwenge. Twigaga imyaka ibiri tukanakora ibizamini hafi bitatu uko buri mwaka urangiye bidutegurira kujya kwiga mu mashuri yisumbuye. Kugirango ubigereho wabaga wihagazeho”.

Bavuze kandi ko bakomererwaga cyane n’urugendo rugana ku ishuri, bitewe n’uko nta mihanda yabonekaga, ndetse n’imodoka zikaba zari nkeya cyane. Cyakora ngo abacuruzi babaga bafite imodoka barabatwaraga.

Ati: “Abasore bari hanze ahanza, abasaza bari hanze aha bariya mubiyame. Nakugana uzamutere umugongo, uzanamuvume kandi n’igihugu cyose kizamuvuma”.

Bamwe mu bitabiriye ibi birori mu Urwunge rw’amashuri rw’abakobwa rw’i Rwaza.

Umuyobozi w’iri shuri Soeur Marthe Marie Nzabakurana, yibukije ko iri shuri rifite umwihariko wo gutsindisha abanyeshuri bose mu bizamini bya Leta, bakesha uburezi batanga bise ‘uburezi butsimbura kandi bushinze imizi mu ivanjiri’.

Kuri ubu iri shuri ryigisha amashami y’ubumenyi ariko mbere rikaba ryarigishaga imbonezamubano, uburezi n’ubunyamabanga kuko ariyo mashami yari agezweho ku bana b’abakobwa.
