Counselling meetings are held every Wednesdays for orphans and widows in order to help them cope with the trauma following the genocide and their current living conditions.Mama Lambert, a member of staff at Solace Ministries in Rwanda, is in charge of the counselling sessions. She is also a survivor of the genocide and most of her family were killed during the genocide. The meetings are held at the Solace centre in Kigali.
We attended the meeting on Wednesday the 24th of Feb. 2010 and my friends, Jean and Kemi, gave words of encouragement to the people in attendance.
Jean also brought a suitcase full of bras (see picture above) to give out to all the widows at the meeting. Her gift of bras to the widows were very well received and truly appreciated.
