To my heart-centered supporters,

The miracle of Project LIGHT: Rwanda is being birthed because I made a commitment to follow my heart and you provided the wings to take me there. 

It is a miracle born because our hearts are connected – orphan genocide survivors, US students, our volunteer humanitarian team, and you.

My vision for world healing. Believe it or not, I come back from Rwanda each time with a greater vision for how world healing can unfold. If our teenage orphan survivors can heal and forgive we have a template for world peace and this is a model we want to bring all over the world!

With your help we will be returning to Rwanda in September and developing a whole new dream:

A new model of humanitarian aid
Project LIGHT: Rwanda
Leadership * Inspiration * Global Healing * Transformation

Imagine an international youth healing center
serving disadvantaged youth where young people receive basic needs, emotional healing and training, real opportunities for economic independence and the freedom to become heart-centered leaders. With advanced technology to have real-time interactions between these young people, students, donors and our visionary Resource Partners in the fields of education, healing arts, business and entrepreneurship. With a business incubator to develop products and services that will make the Center self-sustainable. Now imagine Centers like this - all over the world - in Condo, Sudan, the Middle East, India, China, Russia and right here in our own backyards, where our young people are given the opportunity to create global connections and collaborations that lead us ito a peaceful future.

It's doable! We’ve created a pilot program to establish our first holistic resource center in the capital city of Kigali where young people traumatized by the genocide can come to receive basic needs, leading edge trauma healing and job training skills to ensure their economic viability. Our plan is to document the program for replication around the world. Read the details.
