The Girl With the Camera

Irakoze story: Byiringiro Olivier Discovering a Voice Without Words In a small, quiet neighborhood on the edge of Kigali, there lived a girl named Irakoze. She was 14 years old, and very silent. Not because she had no voice, but because words didn’t come easily to her. In class, she hardly raised her hand. At home, she kept to herself. People assumed she was shy, or even strange. But Irakoze wasn’t silent because she lacked something—she was silent because she saw things differently. One rainy afternoon, while exploring her late uncle’s old belongings, she found a dusty camera at the bottom of a wooden box. It was scratched and half-broken, but something about it felt alive in her hands. She took it home. No one paid much attention. At first, she took photos of flowers and insects. Then she started taking photos of people: her mother cooking, her little brother sleeping, her neighbor sweeping the road, street kids playing with a plastic ball, an old man looking out a window.

The Boy Who Fixed Radios

-
  A Story of Passion and Possibility In the quiet village of Rubaya, there was a boy named Elie. He was 15, shy, and always curious. While other boys played football in the fields, Elie spent his afternoons digging through old electronics behind his father’s house broken radios, dead phones, even shattered cassette players. No one taught him how to fix anything. He just tried . He’d take broken radios from neighbors, pull them apart, examine the wires, and experiment. Sometimes he got lucky. Sometimes he made things worse. But every failure was a lesson. Every spark or click told him something. People laughed. “Wasting time on junk,” they said. “He should be doing something useful.” “None of those things will ever work again.” But Elie didn’t stop. His hands were always stained with dust and solder. He didn’t care about praise—he just wanted to understand how things worked. One day, during preparations for a village wedding, the local community center’s big public radio sy...

When the Lights Went Out A Night That Changed Everything It was just after 7 PM when the power went out. story by Byiringiro Olivier At first, no one paid much attention. Power cuts were common in the small town of Nyagasambu. People assumed it would come back in an hour or two. But as minutes turned to hours, the silence began to stretch. No music from radios. No buzzing of televisions. No lights flickering through windows. Just darkness and quiet. Phones were dying. Fridges were warming. Boredom started to creep in. But something strange happened that night. An old man lit a charcoal stove outside and started boiling tea. A neighbor, curious and tired of sitting in the dark, brought a chair to join him. Then came another. A group of children, free from screens and homework, began playing hide-and-seek by moonlight. Soon, the entire neighborhood seemed to spill out of their homes. Someone lit a fire and roasted maize. A young woman began singing softly. Another picked up a gui...

The Man Who Planted Hope

Environmental Healing A Story by BYIRINGIRO OLivier In a dry, dusty village where the earth cracked under the sun and the trees were long gone, people had learned to live without shade or rain. It hadn’t always been like this. Years ago, the land was rich, green, and full of birds. But slowly, the trees were cut down first for firewood, then for farming. No one planted anything back. The rains grew less and less. Streams dried up. And eventually, so did people’s hope. Except for one man. His name was Mzee Gasana, a quiet, retired teacher in his late sixties. Every morning before sunrise, he would walk out with a shovel, a jerrycan of water, and a small sack of seeds. He would dig, plant, water—and leave. Every single day. At first, people laughed. “Why waste your time, old man?” they said. “Even God has left this place dry.” “You can’t plant trees in dust!” But Mzee Gasana didn’t argue. He kept planting one seedling at a time. One tree at a time. One morning at a time. Seasons...

how they created IA

-
 Creating IA (Artificial Intelligence) involves a combination of mathematics, computer science, neuroscience, and data . Here's a simplified overview of how AI is created:  1. Defining the Goal Creators first decide what they want the AI to do. Examples: Recognize images or speech Translate languages Play a game Chat with humans (like me!)  2. Choosing or Designing a Model The "model" is a mathematical structure that learns patterns. The most common today is: Neural Networks – inspired by the human brain Simple ones: perceptrons Advanced ones: deep learning models (like GPT, used in ChatGPT)  3. Feeding It Data AI learns from huge amounts of data : Text, images, videos, audio, etc. For example, ChatGPT was trained on massive amounts of written text from the internet.  4. Training the Model This is like teaching: The model is shown input (e.g., a sentence) It makes a guess (e.g., the next word) If it’s wrong,...

 The Day I Learned How to Really Find Money Introduction Growing up, I used to think money came from luck, rich families, or big jobs. But one day, I sat down and looked at my own life and I realized something. Money doesn’t just find you. You have to learn how to find it . Let me tell you a story that changed how I see money forever. The Story: Eight Lessons That Opened My Eyes 1. It Starts With a Skill A few years ago, I had a small camera, no studio, and zero clients. But I loved taking photos. I kept learningYouTube videos, free practice, asking friends to model for free. Slowly, I noticed something: people started to ask me, “How much do you charge?” That’s when I learned  money follows skill. If you solve a problem, someone will pay you. 2. Use What You Already Have Many people say, “I’ll start when I get better gear or a loan.” But that’s a lie we tell ourselves. I started with what I had: a phone, daylight, and free editing apps. I turned basic tools into p...
