In case, your classmates or your friends in school are asking you ‘Why is your daddy working like that?, Why is your daddy doing Tamurege? Tell them that’s your daddy’s logo. Tell them that the Tamurege is what is bringing money for my daddy”.
He captioned the video with, “Helping them to fight the trauma it can cause for them while growing up!”.
