Caption: I remember a time in my childhood when the world helplessly watched the Rwandan genocide, I remember a time in my youth when Rwanda was a case study in my Complex Emergencies & Developmental Economy courses. And now I will remember a time when Rwanda is a triumph of human spirit, a victory of good over evil and a beacon of hope for the world!
