Moving forward

April 12th, 2008

TuhabonyeThis Tutsi man was nearly burned to death along with 100 of his friends and neighbors by rival Hutus. He narrowly escaped through a window but suffered severe burns that reached all the way to the bone of his right shin. He is now set to run in the London Marathon and hopes to make it to the Olympics.

In 1996, he came face-to-face with the man in charge of killing him and those many others who were not so lucky. As this mass murderer begged forgiveness at Tuhabonye’s feet, he let him go free.

“If I can let someone who tried to kill me go free, I can do anything – it inspired me.”

What are you still holding on to?

    Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out.

    Please let me know where you got your design. Kudos

    Hi there! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks
    weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might
    be able to correct this problem. If you have any
    recommendations, please share. Thanks!
