Dear Uncle Tommy,

Hope God’s blessings continue to flow your way during this Holly Week. In Kigali here, we are in a commemoration period. It is another period that is always difficult, remembering how evil suppressed goodness; how a section of people was bent on annihilating another-the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The world looked the other side when all this was happening.

Dear Uncle Tommy,

Your supply of encouragement has been most comforting in these hard times. It fills part of the emptiness and void created in me by the lockdown.

Dear Uncle Tommy,

Thank you for your mail. It was somewhere between painting a grim picture and giving me hope. Hope is what we all clamour for here in Kigali and the entire world.
