15 years on, keeping Hope alive

This year Rwanda will commemorate 15 years after the horrific genocide against the Tutsi, in which over a million people lost their lives. Since the blood bath in 1994, Rwanda has had to literary find her feet and start walking again. Armed with Hope and Vision she has. It has been a long walk full of challenges; if it is to be agreed that nothing, and absolutely nothing was left standing. All infrastructure destroyed, government offices looted, the treasury looted, hospitals and schools – no more. It was a costly genocide. Placing a big onus on the shoulders of those tasked with rebuilding the country, to bring it back to life again. The country many looked at pitifully wondering whether it would ever rise again, has moved on beyond their expectations. Be it in economic development, or replacing the old derelict buildings with new modern ones, to injecting life into the previously comatose schools and hospitals; or the more crucial agenda of seeking justice and healing.
