Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>To know national heroes is to know Rwandans; their values, collective history, heritage, and culture, who they are, and what makes them great.<\/p>\n

The Chancellery for Heroes, National Orders and Decorations of Honor (CHENO) defines a hero as any person who pursues objectives they undertake to obtain a special achievement for the public interest and with high proven integrity, sacrifice, and noble courage in their acts, and who avoids being a coward in their actions in very trying situations.<\/p>\n

Rwanda will on February 1 mark Heroes Day, a day on which the country pays tribute to its nationals who demonstrated the highest values of patriotism and sacrifice for the well-being of the country and its citizens.<\/p>\n

As the day draws near, The New Times compiled different platforms where you can find resources to help you know more about national heroes.<\/p>\n

The Chancellery for Heroes, National Orders, and Decorations of Honour (CHENO)\u2019s website has resources that can help you to explore more about national heroes as well as the institution.
