Editor, RE: “Unity Club hands over house to Genocide survivors in Kayonza” (The New Times, December 1) It was very heartening to read the story about a recent partnership between Unity Club and Bralirwa for a noble cause. Nothing could be more traumatic than having one’s entire family wiped out in one stroke. Such occurrences do take place during a natural calamity. However, when such horror is inflicted by human beings as was experienced during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, the pain and grief is far greater. Jonathan Hall, the Managing Director of Bralirwa, and his team need to be commended for this great act of giving back to society, specifically to these eight elderly widows, a modern house, which will be their “home” for the rest of their lives. This is also a glowing example of an effective partnership and how the Unity Club under the able guidance of the First Lady is helping make the difference. Projects such as these will continue to give this great land of a thousand hills and a million smiles the “cutting edge” to inspire the rest of the world that come what may, where there is a will, there is surely a way.
