A VERY SAD TRUTH 💔
31 years ago,
15,593 families
68,871 souls erased in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
No one left to speak their names.
No one left to remember their laughter,
their dreams and their love.
Today, we remember them.
We mourn them.
We speak for them.
We carry them in every heartbeat of survival.

Pourtant, elle a transformé sa douleur en amour, ses larmes en espoir. Chaque jour, elle avance avec une dignité qui vous ressemble. Elle incarne votre mémoire vivante, votre fierté silencieuse.
Vous êtes et resterez à jamais dans nos cœurs.

Dans l’ombre de cette tragédie, une âme forte a survécu : votre fille, ma mère @GatayireMC . Elle a grandi avec le poids de votre absence, portant des souvenirs trop lourds pour son cœur.
My name is Naike.
I am 15 years old.
I have written this poem to tell my story, and that of so many others, the second generation of genocide survivors.
I tell my story to inform you, to tell the world that we survived the unthinkable, to teach and remind you of the consequences of the Genocide against the Tutsi, and its horror.
I tell my story with the hope that this will never happen again.
Dear survivors,
Dear parents,
Dear Rwandans,
If there’s one thing you can keep from my message, it’s that my generation and I, we have learnt, and we are proud of who we are: Rwandans, who will always hold your hand.
We will strive for the everlasting peace, prosperity, and hope of life in Rwanda.
We will always remember what happened during the Genocide against the Tutsi.
We’re going to write.
We’re going to remember.
We’re going to make changes.
Humura, Rwanda rwacu.
Ntabwo bizongera.
Tuzibuka kandi tuzakubaka.

Last week, from July 14-18, was the highlight of July 2024 for me. I attended and helped organize the ATBC 2024 conference with my fellow local committee members. I presented my research on orchids and moderated symposiums.1/2
