The genocide in Rwanda and the Great Lakes Region may be past, but the need for healing and reconciliation is still very much alive. The HRRF is engaged in helping the victims of the genocide in Rwanda and other instances of violence. HRRF also strives to allow the survivors to move past the events that have defined them for fourteen years. Real peace and healing can only occur when the truth is fully revealed. A Truth & Reconciliation Commission will go beyond blame, and help survivors by revealing the fate of their friends, family and loved ones–giving them closure. Join in the discussion with our panel:

Paul Rusesabagina, real life hero of the film Hotel Rwanda and founder of the Foundation Ambassador Robert Krueger, former U.S. Senator and Ambassador to Burundi, (1994-1996) Ambassador Robert Flaten, Ambassador to Rwanda, (1990-1993), and David Zarembka, founder of the African Great Lakes Initiative, works on the ground healing and rebuilding communities within the African Great Lakes Region.
