Rwanda: Yb's Day to Celebrate Buravan, Boost Cancer Survivorship

[New Times] The inaugural YB's Day will not only celebrate the legacy of Rwandan singer Yvan Buravan but will also serve as an occasion to launch the Turikumwe Campaign, an initiative aimed at raising awareness about cancer and promoting cancer survivorship.

On August 17, Rwanda will celebrate Yvan Buravan Day to honor the late singer's life and legacy while launching an initiative to boost cancer survivorship. The inaugural YB's Day will feature a musical tribute, campaign stories, and activations at Atelier Du Vin. The YB Foundation, established in 2022, aims to raise awareness about cancer and promote survivorship through music, storytelling, and community engagement.

The event will honor Buravan, known for his connection to Rwandan identity, who passed away from cancer in August 2022.
