Rwandan girl child warm heartedly smiles with friendship and goodness stands by our 4x4 with a group of her young teenage friends intrigued and chatting to my wife in the cab of the vehicle. Lake Burera Northern Akagera National Game Park. Rwandan girl child with group of her young teenage friends are intrigued by the maps and binoculars that my wife is showing them while seated in the 4x4 we have rented to safari in Rwanda the Land of 1000 Hills. The young girl's character and openness warm the very depths of my heart. She is bright, full of power and joy. Rwanda is a country that has surmounted the insurmountable. It moves forward from genocides of monumental proportion, most recently that of 1994 when over one million died in a matter of weeks. There is a silence that speaks of this pain. There is a stare that questions what we want from them and what we have to offer. Foreigners are called Mzungos which translates as 'aimlessly wandering'. We visited the Genocide Museum in Kigali where streams of young processed round the extraordinary and heart wrenching exhibit, sensitively, beautifully and truthfully presented. Their tears and quiet courage shouted from the inner recesses of their hearts. This will not happen again and much needs to be recognised and learned which these clear and wonderful souls will rise to. Bless them all.
