Mukarurangwa Judith & Karangwa Nadia

Stories For Hope created a forum for elders to inspire the youth; at least that’s what Judith and Nadia expected when they accepted to share their story. In this story however, the roles astonishingly reverse as an elder finds encouragement and inspiration from her niece and adopted child who tries to point out how children now play together in Rwanda, even as their own parents were once enemies.

“Once we are all mixed and in one village, the children will play together and while our children may grow up knowing about the genocide, the generation that will follow will not harbor any such memories and they will grow up knowing we are one. I see Tutsi children everyday playing with Twa children without a problem.” Karangwa Nadia

“I think that my child’s view has challenged even me.” Judith Mukakarangwa
