"28 years have passed since the Rwandan genocide which shocked the world. Since then, Rwanda has become a country that attracts attention for its exceptional economic development, advancement of national reconciliation and innovative environmental policies. However, people still carry the deep emotional and physical wounds left behind by the long years of civil war and genocide, and the struggle for healing, reconciliation and community building continues even now.
Reflecting on our 17 years of living here, we will share our stories of working closely with people at the grass-roots level in their challenging efforts for reconciliation in the hope of re-building the community, and we will talk about the signs of hope that we see."
This event will be the third lecture in the "ICU Reconciliation Forum Spring 2022 Speaker Series". If you are interested in learning more about this entire series, please see the end of this announcement.
