Then followed Makamba, Kayogoro and Ruyugi. Despite tedious journeys we made and a number of problems we faced, we successfully distributed meats of sacrificial animals to over 1, families and met our Muslim brethrens in every region we visited to ease their suffering as much as possible.
Education is a significant problem for Burundi Muslims Education is undoubtedly one of the most serious problems facing Burundi people. Generally, Muslims and Christians coexist in peace and they share similar problems. However, Muslims suffer more from educational problems. Unlike Christians, who are supported by missionaries, Muslims have not received significant support from the Islamic world in educational fields so far.
Muslim children mostly are educated in state schools where only Christian is taught in religion classes and in Catholic schools in many regions. There are few Islamic schools in the country and the existent ones are providing education in roughly-completed buildings. Many lack electricity and water networks. I think the most luxurious demands of students attending Islamic schools would be to have their separate coursebooks and sections from the Quran.
During our trip in the country, we came observed a number of social institutions with plaques attached to their front reading that the European Union had supported these intuitions without giving any detail about the amount of support. We came across such a plaque on the front of an Islamic primary school, which we contributed to completion of its building, in the city of Gitega. School officials told us that the EU had undertaken building of only a toilet which collapsed after two months in the school where students were educated.
They showed us the collapsed toilet behind which newly-built toilets stood. These new toilets were built with support of local Muslims.
As far as we were told by officials of our partner association, the EU hanged plaques to the front of other social institutions following insignificant financial help. Since there is no mention of the exact amount of the help, foreigners who visit the country cannot help thinking that these institutions are financed by the EU. We were deeply affected top have observed that none of the houses we visited had the Quran. People are really having problems about learning Islam.
We presented some gifts to orphanage residents and left after taking some note about the orphanage. We worked out a project in cooperation with the Burundi Islamic Community for the orphans. We agreed on the idea to place each orphan, living in the unhealthy conditions of the orphanage, in a Muslim family, which will provide orphans with familial love and compassion.
