Reconciliation after genocide

A man from African Enterprise spoke the other day about their Rwandan Reconciliation project, which is being financially supported by the Bible Society NSW.This project is run in every Rwandan school and is part literacy training, part reconciliation/Bible teaching. The genocide happened 14 years ago, before these primary school kids were born, but many have family members who murdered or who were killed. Their readers are full of Bible stories of reconciliation. At lunchtimes there are Reconciliation Clubs for those who want to join where they role play the Bible stories and sing, dance and debate reconciliation. Then they go home and tell their Mums and Dads.
