Dear All

Hello

From early April to mid July 1994, an estimated 800,000 people
were massacred in Rwanda.

These were some of the worst events in modern history.

Today, the survivors are living with AIDS, loss of limbs and severe mental trauma, especially affected were women and children.

One of the reasons why this event is remembered is because most of the World and the UN stood by and did nothing to help.

Today, the survivors are living with AIDS, loss of limbs and severe mental trauma, especially affected were women and children.

But from this, there is hope as communites are rebuilding their lives and projects have been set up to help.

Take gentle care
Very sincere wishes
