Vote for SFCG on the Peace Portal
A story of SFCG’s work in Rwanda is up for consideration on Peace Portal.
Elise Webb, who interned with our Rwanda office has written an engaging story that has been entered in Peace Portal’s ‘Stories of Peace Challenge.’ The top rated stories will be published in the book ‘People Building Peace 2.0.’

Her piece is about our participatory theater work in Rwanda and we’re excited to have it reach wider audiences:
Our van rumbles up the dirt roads with ruts running deep from the rainy season. Children seem to be the first to spot us and call out; many even chase after us. In the rear view mirror you can see them waving and yelling; filling up the frame with arms and feet, dust building up between us and them. The only word I understand is ‘muzungu‘ (white person) and it’s yelled over and over again like it’s my name. I get a bit worried in the old social researcher sense that the very fact I am there is changing the process.
