Life is like hills. It is sometimes difficult or sometimes easy, ups and downs like these hills that I drew. Down hill, up hill, changing even in color.

I wish to get married and have kids.

The reason of having this kind of picture of a hen on this box is that I like eating it or seeing its appearance.

The flower makes me happy and excited. I feel like offering it to the person I love.

My pictures express to me the love you’ve shown us, the courage and zeal.
I have appreciated the training, especially the relaxation therapy, it helped me a lot. Â I thank God who put us together in his own way. It was not by our own will.

Green, yellow and blue are the colors of our flag. Rwanda, a nation recovering from the blood shed of man. The red doom is the symbol of Genocide and the white cross with the bleeding heart of Jesus, who sacrificed that Rwanda be made clean, symbolized by the white cross.
Yellow is sunshine, hope for Rwanda. Green is life and growth and blue is reconciliation, possible only though the blood of Jesus.
Hatred, Unity, Rwanda

Survivors of Genocide.
I have drawn a volcano in eruption and fruits on a tray. I have also drawn a person in a boat. An active volcano is very destructive. Fruits are nutritious. If you take a ride in a boat you take a rest and feel happy when you look at the water.

Before 1994, our country was good. After April ’94, blood was shed. Many people died and the majority of genocide survivors are struggling with life.
So, the telephone you see is calling for help. We believe that God is the first to come.
Inside the box, there is my heart. I will never forget my relatives, my friends, children’s blood…
The blue color means that I hope to live happily. Jesus will take me with him.
Beatrice’s Box – A Coffin
The figures on the top represent her husband and four children who were all murdered during the genocide. She had to (forced) watch, as her husband was hacked into four or five pieces. Overwhelmed with tears, she could not go any further.
Note the small red heart on the side.
