Anastasie an Hutu and Stephania, a Tutsi, with help from the REACH charity have developed a close friendship. Stephania lives in the house built with funds from the charity. Houses like this Anastasie has to built as part of her community service for her involvement in the 1994 genocide. She also spent over 6 years in prison. The REACH organisation in Rwanda exists to heal and reconcile people who have been in conflict by providing them with opportunities for learning, truth-telling and forgiveness, assisiting them to work together on various peace buliding initiatives. In October 2008, 18 boys aged between 16-18 years travelled to Rwanda. They were all pupils of the prestigious Sherborne School in Dorset, UK, a fee paying school with a history of excellence. The pupils had raised £20, 000 to pay for a football pitch for the people living in the Kayonza district of Rwanda. The project was overseen by the charity REACH. The boys, along with 5 members off staff, played a football match against a local team, visited various memorials and talked to people across Rwanda to try and understand the countries history and in particulair about the genocide.
