Rwanda Trip
Travel with Tri-S: Study, Serve, Share
Description:
Step into a culture still wrestling with genocide and reconciliation. Join Tri-S on this cultural learning experience led by Charles Nsengiyumva, Church of God national leader in Rwanda, as you discuss and explore the role of the church before, during, and after the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Experience Rwanda today while also discussing pressing issues that led to one of the most tragic events in recent history. This opportunity is perfect for students in the Peace and Conflict Transformation program to engage in real-world discussions about the Rwandan genocide. Open to any current student.
