“ Attending the trauma healing training in Rwanda was a transformative experience for me. Learning about trauma-informed care and healing techniques has equipped me with the tools to better support others at my workplace as a nurse. The training helped me understand the importance of empathy and active listening in facilitating the healing process” ~Rwandan participant“I work with Never Again as a sector leader, participating in the training brought a sense of validation and healing to my own experience as a survivor of the genocide, connecting with others who have gone through similar struggles reminded me that I am not alone. The workshop helped me find new ways to cope with my trauma and move forward with Hope” ~Rwandan participant.
“When there is mistrust you see your neighbor as your enemy. 
You think there is no one you can talk to. You feel there is no one who respects your ideas. People point to what happened in the past and when they accuse you, you think there is nothing good I can do and you doubt every day. But when you trust you think of other people and you do not feel alone, you share with your neighbor and try to help them solve their problem as if it was your own. And you forgive, you have to trust yourself in order to ask for forgiveness.” ~Papa Samweri

I discovered how to build a good society after seeing the tree of trust.” ~Rwandan participant.
