but the struggle for the spirit
of a dignified and peaceful country
is now promoted, sustained, encouraged.”

39. MAPPING THE JOURNEY TO
ACTION
A genocide
memorial is meant
to trigger a
profound personal
reaction.
This is a moment of
suffering and
creates a strong
emotional
connection to what
happened.
While it’s difficult to
generate action in
each and every
person, this
moment is made
possible by the
ones before.
Hope gives
examples to follow
and show how
others acted
positively.
At the beginning
there’s a neutral
state before being
slowly introduced
to the context. If the
beginning is too
brutal, people could
feel disoriented and
unable to establish
an emotional
connection.
This moment
should happen
multiple times
during the
experience itself.
It’s meant as a way
to decompress for
sensible people,
and a space to
think for everyone.
PAIN PAIN ACTION
While genocides
are terrible events,
there are always
heroes that shine
through.
These people are
often highly
relatable because
are normal people
that do positive
acts.

49. Dear Friend,
We are all angered by what happened in Rwanda, but we can channel our energy into
action and prevent it from ever happening again.
Be heroic. Help save lives by taking action. Injustice happens around the world. The
Central African Republic has been descending into ethno-religious violence, with thousands
of people fleeing their homes. The UN is warning that the country is at high risk of genocide.
Learn how you can raise awareness about this issue. Volunteer to spread the word in your
community, on campus, or at events.
Be a partner. Pledge your support and helps us fund our life sustaining social programs,
youth and teacher education programs and commemoration work. Our youth programs teach
the new generation about Rwanda’s history and how to move forward in peace and unity.
Be a resident artist. Create work to tell the story of Rwanda through artistic expression.

Together we can build and sustain peace.
Amahoro,
The Aegis Trust team
