Alphonsine Uwamariya-Visions of Rwanda Photo Project

Visions of Rwanda Photo Project: Genocide survivors and perpetrators in Rwanda came together in November 2007 to document their day-to-day life, hopes, dreams and memories as part of the "Visions of Rwanda" photography project. Their photos show a vision of Rwanda today through the eyes of Rwandans - recalling the past while expressing hope for the future.
