Thank you, family.

I stayed with a family led by a doctor and a nurse. I had lunch with their teenage daughter at a mall, and we talked about sororities. A decade prior, they had been in Uganda, exiled while their countrymen and women were exterminated in one of the worst human rights atrocities and social failings of the 20th century. They survived and served their people. I want to thank them, Global Youth Connect, my beloved friends made in Kigali, and the people of Rwanda for helping me to never forget that we are connected, we are here to love one another, and we will never let this happen again.
