From genocide to 58 smiling, loving and welcoming children

12/13/15 – Day 1: 9:45AM – Kigali Genocide Museum.

Benevolence - it exists. This memorial and the way the Rwanda people have unified, forgiven, healed and prospered is a testament to our highest self - and the power of benevolence. May we never, ever, ever turn a cheek again to those in need. — Benevolence – it exists. This memorial and the truths and stories it tells shows us that benevolence can and does exist – even in the face of such horrifying tragedies. The way the Rwanda people have unified, forgiven, healed and prospered is a testament to our highest self – and the power of benevolence. May we never, ever, ever turn a cheek again to those in need. May we find the place in ourself that is benevolent, resilient and alive with hope.

1:15M – My ride to the mountains

Thank you Thosson! We made it through the fog, rain and mist – here’s to safety first 🙂

2:30PM – My lovely welcome from Lisa and Tor at Sabinyo Silverback Lodge – and….i’m the ONLY one here!

3:30 – A guided walk through a local village with Theo – who started his business 5 years ago to create jobs, help local people become self-sustaining and give the next generation a chance. Noble, entrepreneurial, generous and a big kid himself…this tour help provide clothing, education and means for local villagers.

4:45 PM – by the end, we had 58 kids with us – happy just to be. skipping, strolling, giggling and playing. Happy JUST TO BE.
