LH27. RWANDA 26 YEARS AFTER THE GENOCIDE

In 1994, Rwanda suffered an ethnically based genocide in which nearly 1,000,000 people were killed. Through slides and comments, this presentation will reflect on that event and the country 26 years later. It will include a virtual visit to Akagera National Park with its colorful birds and animals and a description of the work of Mennonite Central Committee to support agricultural development, education, and peace building.
