2. The Hopkinton Freedom Team in partnership with HYFS is hosting a talk on  Unity by Hyppolite Ntigurirwa. This talk will be available for viewing anytime and will be featured as well in the Islamic Masumeen School program on Sunday 1/17(info attached below). This talk does contain some sensitive content related to a 7 year old child's witness and experience of the Rwandan genocide and viewing is that of personal discretion. If you have questions, please just reach out to me and ask.
