Remembrance

We are currently in the heart of the anniversary of the 100 days of slaughter in Rwanda.
It has been seventeen years, and we must not forget.

Today, April 21st, marks the 17th anniversary of the massacre at Murambi.

Please take a moment today, or any day during these 100, to remember the million souls lost in Rwanda and the millions more lost in genocides and civil wars around the world.



You have a voice, and it was given to you for a reason.
You have the power, with every waking moment, to do simple things that send echoes of humanity around the world.
Remember the women of Ubutwali Bwo Kubaho: with love, everything is possible.
 What are you waiting for?



"If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped change.

We do not need magic to change the world, for we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."
-J.K. Rowling
