We at the Women's Union would like to thank Jean Michel Habineza (he/him/his) for joining us this past Thursday to discuss Dealing With a Past That De Did Not Create, to Create a Future That We Deserve.
During this discussion, Habineza shared resources about iDebate Rwanda (https://debaterwanda.org), which is an organization that encourages young Rwandans and East Africans to participate in debate to equip them with tools to creatively problem solve, think critically, impact their own society, and much more. Habineza is deeply involved with this organization as the Co-Founder (learn more: https://debaterwanda.org/staff-items/jmhabineza/).
Some more of Habineza's work is in genocide prevention and reconciliation. He is one of the founders of Peace and Love Proclaimers (“PLP” - http://peaceloveproclaimers.org), a youth led organization whose mission is to establish a positive change in the world through unity, peace and development.
iDebate Rwanda has been impacted by the pandemic and they're currently holding fundraising efforts. We hope that you will look into these resources and the work of Jean Michel Habineza and consider donating funds towards and/or sharing with your networks.
Thank you all for another wonderful WU lunch, and thank you to Jean Michel Habineza for engaging us in this important conversation.
