[First Lady of Rwanda @FirstLadyRwanda]

“Perhaps it is my affection for the youth…perhaps it is simply that I love ‘love’. But the wellness of the Rwandan family unit – our youth’s cocoon – be it in health as in personal fulfillment, will always be my driving purpose. I may have voiced this before but repeat it proudly: we must aim for Rwandan families to be whole so that Rwanda, a country healing scars both physical and of the soul, can also be whole.”

With these words, First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame reflects on the essence of family as the foundation of a thriving nation.

[MoH @mohs_sl]

In a significant demonstration of regional solidarity 🇸🇱@VP_Jalloh together with #MoH’s @CharlesSenessie yesterday, dispatched a team of medical personnel to Rwanda in response to the ongoing Marburg virus outbreak. This underscores the importance of intra-African collaboration.

Thank you for spending your day with us! Today history was made @dsengeh @medialab @hughherr

[David Moinina Sengeh @dsengeh]

Today, we saw the first prosthetic running blade fit on a patient (an athlete) in Sierra Leone at the National Rehabilitation Center. @kenendo and I studied with @hughherr at @medialab and taught a class called developing world prosthetics which Claudine (in yellow) took. Dreams!

“I wanted to do something in the prosthetics field in the country, but I realized that I didn't really have the training I needed to have an impact.

It became clear to me that getting education in the field would be the thing that would get me to my goal.” — @ClaudineHumure

“It's been a long journey and I feel like this field is very personal to me.” Inspirational @UWRehabMed #prosthetics & orthotics student @ClaudineHumure prepares to graduate and return to Africa to help others who have lost limbs. Read the story: https://t.co/ivakbE7xUr

[UW IPCE @UWIPCE]

We enjoyed the second set of lectures from Dr. Speckman on topics about Gait, Prosthetics, and Amputee Rehabilitation. UW & VA Puget Sound Faculty and UW students helped shared knowledge on prosthetics. #cme #rehabmed @UWRehabMed @UWMedicine

[Disability Rights Fund @DisabRightsFund]

Today, we lost a powerful voice for justice and inclusion. We celebrate the life and legacy of Judy Heumann, also called the 'mother' of the disability rights movement, whose advocacy and generosity touched so many, including our team. Rest in peace, Judy.

The two young women, @ClaudineHumure and @SaronMechale, both from Africa, have turned their personal journeys into noble pursuits to help others in their home countries, becoming role models and powerful advocates in the process. Read their story >> https://t.co/F66dCHQDqI
