Updates of November 7, 2018
Jean de Dieu Ngirabaganwa Jardon is a filmaker in Rwanda. He and I remain in contact and I want to share his work with the world! Years ago, Films Without Borders/ filmswithoutborders.org brought him to study in London.

I am posting this message here as the power of Flickr has proven
a tremendous social-networking tool to creatively collaborate and
cross-support missions both in the field and at home.
I will be returning to Rwanda and Uganda August - September this year (2011).
Please get in touch with me if you or someone you know might like to
collaborate--I photograph and write and help bring awareness, raise
funds for good work being done by good people for good people.

"Centre Memorial de Gisimba (Gisimba Memorial Center)
The Gisimba orphanage, located in the Nyamirambo quarter of Kigali, is led by Damas Mutezintare Gisimba. Damas's father founded the orphanage in 1980 with 18 children living in one house. Damas took over in 1986 after the death of his father. During the genocide Damas sheltered over 400 children and adults in the small orphanage compound from the predations of the interahamwe [the Hutu paramilitary squads that carried out much of the genocide]. Though the orphanage was repeatedly menaced, Damas and his colleagues held their ground and did not give in to the genocidaires. He has been honored for his heroism by the Rwandan government and many other organizations.
