$18.00 per person.Register here | From April 1994-July 1994, it is estimated between 800,000 and one million people, mostly ethnic Tutsis were murdered. When the Rwandan genocide began in April 1994, Eugenie Mukeshimana was six months pregnant. She went into hiding, staying at a succession of safe houses, spending weeks at a time hidden. Her husband did not survive. In the aftermath, Eugenie had no other choice but to rebuild her life from scratch. The responsibility of raising her newborn daughter as a single mother, gave her an incentive to rise above and beyond survivorship. Come hear Eugenie's remarkable story. |
