Dear co-sponsor,
Could you please forward the following message and attached flyer to your listserv? Thanks for helping spread the word!

How does one coexist with the one who killed your loved ones? How does he/she forgive when he/she is the only survivor?

Join us on Wed April 13, 1:00pm-3:00pm in McDowell Formal Lounge for a short screening of the documentary "Wounded Healers" followed by a panel discussion with three Rwandan Genocide Survivors as they share their personal journeys towards reconciliation and how they are healing.

Panelists will include:
1) Mr. Kayihura: Genocide survivor and former Prosecutor in Charge of the Department of Genocide Crimes and crimes against Humanity in Kigali- Rwanda.

2) Ms. Mukeshimana: Genocide survivor and founder of Genocide Survivor Support Network, based in New York.

3) Ms. Consolee: was 14 years old during the Genocide and will share her personal journey and her encounter with those who killed her brothers.

This will be a chance to learn about the challenges and successes of the Rwandan reconciliation process and also how applicable are those insights to other post-conflicts societies. Light refreshments will be served.

Please see attached flyer for more information.
