Q: “Are you afraid they will kill you when you go back to Rwanda?”
A: “NO, the Genocide ended over 15 years ago”
Q: “why did genocide happen in Rwanda?”
A: “because the Hutu, the majority of the population acted on hatred
for the Tutsi. They had many ignoble names for us, such as cockroaches and
wanted to kill us all”
The presentation ended with a standing ovation from all the students
and one of the teachers came onto the stage to put the Rwandan flag on
their Global Initiatives tableau project. As principal Dr. Gradone told us
after the presentation, ”the last time my students were that happy and gave
a standing ovation was when they were told they would have two days of
vacation so you need to know that they liked you very, very much. You made a
big impact on them!” Students surrounded Ms. Mukamabano immediately
after the event. Some just wanted to say how much they appreciated her
speech. Other wanted to know how to contact her because they wanted to
help the Orphans of Rwanda.
