Last Friday, I met with Adelite Mukamana, the Coordinator for IBUKA’s Department of Trauma Counseling. Speaking at Nyanza - a genocide massacre site which today houses IBUKA’s offices and a memorial - Adelite shared her insight on Rwanda’s progress on trauma counseling and the advantages of Survivor Corps’ signature peer support program. She also imparted some words of wisdom for those suffering from trauma in Rwanda and throughout the world: to help one’s self, one must help others.
