Albertine UWAYISABA An author from Rwanda writing in French [Return to French — Page originale en français]

Albertine Uwayisaba hails from Rwanda. Aged 25, she is a Master's degree student in the School of Health and Safety at a Paris university. " Apart from my academic activities ", she says, "I obviously like to write stories: but, sad to say, they have not yet been published. To relax, I play tennis, practise yoga and go on outings with my friends. I have written this book, Steve, the lost child, because I wanted to tackle the preconceptions that a great many people have regarding education. In their minds, poverty and delinquency are all too frequently linked: yet, it is no less possible that a child raised in a comfortable environment, with the benefit of a good education, will one day go off the rails and lead a wayward life. " (2006)
