From Rwanda with Love

I spent two weeks in Rwanda and my greatest takeaway was an affirmation that the worst of times can bring out the best in humanity. The people of Rwanda, faced with a broken world, understood that they had to come together to build a future; it was the only way and they have embraced that responsibility with an open heart. To counteract the hate that tore their society apart, Rwandans now love with a rare intensity. And they think about how to share their gifts to the benefit of their entire communities - from conservation to education to entrepreneurship. Over and over again we heard about how Rwanda's greatest resource was its people - ALL of its people. And they are truly stronger together. What a beautiful model for those of us in the United States.
