What is it like in Rwanda?
After growing up in Fr. Jean’s orphanage, Hyacinthe came to Ohio in 2011. She studied for her high school diploma at Our Lady of the Elms and then went on to graduate from Walsh University. She earned a nursing degree, and, after passing her boards, she took a job as a nurse. She loves her work. What Hyacinthe wants you to know is not all the sad and awful stories of Rwanda that cost her her entire family. She wants you to know WHY Rwanda is such a beautiful place and why hope is alive there. She said, “Rwanda is very lush, mountainous and green. It is a comfortable temperature, in the 70’s mostly. Wild animals are in the national parks, but monkeys run wild. It is called The Land of a Thousand Hills, and it is home to a lot of gorillas. Not everyone has electricity. We are very friendly, communal and personal.
