    About the Book

    Edit

    In May 2012, we set out to walk the western border of Rwanda. Our goal was to walk 200 miles
    across the country, delivering letters from home to those we encountered along the way. Each day
    we stopped to deliver a personal note, written by someone in America, to an unsuspecting Rwandan.
    The letters were sealed, handwritten and titled by a single word characterizing a human trait or
    emotion (i.e., faith, pride, honor, etc.). The letters were pulled at random, opened and translated
    on the spot for the recipient to respond to. Excerpts of their stories, and our experiences, are
    interspersed throughout this book.
    RwandaWalk is a community experiment, linking two vastly different worlds through words.
    Although we may live different lives, RwandaWalk proves that all humans share an innate
    emotional bond that makes it possible to connect with complete strangers on a deeply meaningful
    level. Many of the Rwandans we selected had never opened a letter in their lives, and all were
    grateful for the opportunity.
    Tragically, Rwanda is known best for 100 days in 1994. During this time, an estimated 1 million
    people were murdered and more than 300,000 women were raped as Hutus turned on their
    Tutsi neighbors. In reality, the genocide was far from an isolated incident. Decades of European
    colonialism contributed to escalating animosity between the two groups, ultimately culminating in
    a bloody revolutionary uprising in 1959 with small genocidal movements being conducted over the
    next 35 years.
    RwandaWalk was conceived not out of a need to explore or understand these dark times, but a
    desire to educate readers about present-day Rwanda. Twenty peaceful years have passed since
    the genocide, and the world now looks to Rwanda for the playbook on nation-building. We found
    Rwandans to be a humble, generous and warm-hearted people. Through these pages we invite you to
    experience Rwanda for yourself.
