Rwandan boy child close up Northern Rwanda Central Africa
Rwandan boy child Northern Rwanda Central Africa. Stands with us and his friends by the side of rented 4x4 as we survey the local landscapes of the most beautiful country called by some the Land of 1000 Hills. His timid and humble smile softens my heart and opens a world of hope. Rwanda is a country that has surmounted the insurmountable. It moves forward from genocides of monumental proportion, most recently that of 1994 when over one million died in a matter of weeks. There is a silence that speaks of this pain. There is a stare that questions what we want from them and what we have to offer. Foreigners are called Mzungos which translates as 'aimlessly wandering'. We visited the Genocide Museum in Kigali where streams of young processed round the extraordinary and heart wrenching exhibit, sensitively , beautifully and truthfully presented. Their tears and quiet courage shouted from the inner recesses of their hearts. This will not happen again and much needs to be recognised and learned which these clear and wonderful souls will rise to. Bless them all.
