I will be traveling to Rwanda this August 13-30 with World Vision. Since the release of the movie, Hotel Rwanda, many Canadians have become familiar with Rwanda’s horrific past. The memories of the tragic genocide are still so fresh in the minds of most Rwandans. To make matters even worse, the HIV/ AIDS epidemic is now further devastating the country.
While there, I will be part of a group of Canadians assisting in the construction of a new home for a family in need. We will also learn about the work that World Vision is doing in the community and see how the lives of children and their families are being transformed. The idea is for us to return home to be able to share that story of hope with others.
