Thanks to the Rwandan Reconciliation village community who shared their remarkable stories and experiences about what they saw during the genocide. The government has implemented several initiatives, such as ensuring citizens' health and well-being. The Reconciliation village has shown us an example of forming a unity, for instance, They have three houses the first house is for the survivors, who survivors during the Rwandan genocide. The second house is for the perpetrator. In addition, The third house is the place for those who fled the country, and who believe that the Rwandan genocide does not exist or does not occur. As a result, these individuals do not wish to return to their homeland. For those individuals who were intensely interested in returning to Rwanda, house number three would be the place where they would be assisted if they did. however, from my perspective I believe that Rwanda has made significant progress towards sustainable development, forgiving one another no matter what their circumstances are, giving and receiving, and putting other needs first, like we before me. The Reconciliation Village has taught us that regardless of what injustice someone has done to us in life (excluding the act of self-harm) we must value and respect each other. We must try to solve the issue within the community before reporting it to the police or proceeding to the government court. The other takeaway is How the Reconciliation village supported each other after the genocide. For instance, the Reconciliation village supported one another by giving a baby cow to each neighbor whenever the mama cow gave birth. With that, I realized how important it is to love, to be harmonious, to respect, to trust one another, and to have one another back. Mashallah!!

    As-salamu alaikum it is my pleasure to introduce myself as Makka Djibrine, a sophomore majoring in International Relations and minoring in Fashion Design at Buffalo State University.
    ​The purpose of traveling to Rwanda is my desire to learn and experience Rwanda from five of my
    senses, including culture, norms, the environment, and most importantly, to deeply understand Rwandan genocide survivors and their
    experiences and how they coped with them. I was deeply affected by my parents' experience of the genocide and felt devastated to witness and hear how dozens of people faced hardship alongside them, and millions lost their lives. I wanted to gain a greater understanding of the Rwandan genocide through this trip. Additionally, I'm looking forward to teaching, demonstrating and leading Rwandan teachers about Story Based Learning. As we learn to embrace our similarities and differences, we begin to celebrate both. By traveling to Rwanda, we will have the opportunity to learn about humanity and become enlightened and more understanding of other cultures and ways of life. As a result, we will be more open to different points of view and ways of life. Throughout life, we are given opportunities to learn a variety of perspectives and ideas that can be applied to our own context, and with that, I refer to Rwanda. As a result, I'm looking forward to gaining humility, clarity, and perspective. :)
