"Year 31. Birthdays are days of receiving, but this year I decided to be on the giving end. I spent the day at Bruynshill Primary School in Swayimana, donating bags to their wonderful learners. God has blessed me so much; therefore, I need to thank Him in this way."

She then thanked everyone involved, including the staff at the Primary School, who made this day possible for everyone.

In another IG post, Angel shared a video, and it displayed happy faces from the kids who received the gifts.

"For my birthday, I gave back school bags to the wonderful Brynhill Primary School in Swayimana — a simple reminder that access to tools like stationery and backpacks isn’t a privilege, it’s a right. Education is lighter when carried with dignity.

"While access to education is an important factor in every child’s life, so is the ability to walk into school with confidence, equipped with the basics that make learning easier and brighter," added.
