The Tale (Umugani): “The Land of Blessings”
Once upon a time, there were many people from different countries who traveled far and wide, searching for beauty and peace in the most wonderful lands in the world. In their quest, they believed that they would find the best opportunities and treasures in European and American lands. However, on their journeys around the world, they came across a man named Sebisage, a wise and seasoned traveler known for showcasing the beauty and safety of his homeland, Rwanda.
Sebisage would look at every traveler passing by with a warm smile and call out to them, saying, “I invite you to visit the land of Rwamashyo, where beauty and peace shine endlessly!” The foreigners would ask him what he meant. Sebisage would reply, “In Rwanda, the country’s wealth is not in precious stones or technological advancements. Instead, it lies in the kindness of its people, the pristine forests, and the clear waters of the countless lakes.”
Day by day, more and more people followed Sebisage to visit the land he so proudly spoke of. They found a new life and a land of blessings. They said, “We are amazed by the beauty and peace we found here.”
Some marveled at the golden light surrounding the rolling hills; others were touched by how the locals warmly asked them, “Are you happy? Are you enjoying our home?” Their conclusion was echoed by everyone, whether they could read or speak: “Rwanda is a land of peace, a land of comfort, and people with generous hearts.”
From that day on, the good news about Rwanda spread to all countries. People from all directions continued to visit, returning to their homelands saying, “We went to see a country that reflects the heart of Sebisage.”
Since then, the proverb has said that anyone who hears this story about Rwanda will always feel the peace and joy experienced by those who visit.
The tale teaches us that where beauty and goodness always shine, it attracts people from all corners of the world. Rwanda is a land of everlasting peace and joy. Dr. Ras Banamungu
