JCAM 2023 Annual Review 27 Words from some of the par琀椀cipants of the capacity-building training: (L-R): Grégoire Baisle (former RWB Development Director), Fr Ernest Ngiyembere, SJ (Jesuit Urumuri Centre, Director), Ms. Henriette Mushimiyimana (Jesuit Urumuri Centre Communications Officer), Fr. Pascal Bihorubusa, SJ (Communications Officer, Rwanda-Burundi Region), and Ms. Diane Mballa (Assistant Communications Officer - Jesuit West Africa Province). “In a secure and picturesque setting I had the pleasure of spending a month of training in communication from May 29 to June 29, 2023. AFRICAMA House is a harmonious blend of environmental protection and modernity. The training gave me a better knowledge of the Jesuit culture, communications tools and channels, website building and management, photography and videography, digital media and content development and also the significance of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults when communicating. I also joined the Rwanda-Burundi Region communications and development team for a training organised by JCAM, in Kigali where together we deepened our knowledge of strategic communications and digital fundraising. I am very happy and grateful for the lessons I have received.”- Ms. Diane Mballa, - Assistant Communications, West Africa Province, (AOC). “The training was crucial for me as a new RWB communicator. I learned how to use social media tools in my mission. The topics such as building and managing a website, learning how to shoot and edit photos and videos, and creating and running a newsletter account for journals and newsletters, will be of great help in my mission. The four sessions equipped me with social media skills to carry out my mission of communication well.” - Pascal Bihorubusa, SJ, Communications Officer, Rwanda-Burundi Region (RWB).
