Sometimes you meet truly remarkable people who are making a tremendous difference in their communities and countries. This is the case with Jean Nepo Sibomana and his Australian born wife Sabrina, who founded the Mustard Seed Institute – an organisation driving employment, training and human development in rural Rwanda. Nepo is a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide  - which shocked the world in its consistency of application and brutality of purpose. He was just eleven years old when it happened. His story is one of unfathomable loss but also, as his country continues rebuild after near destruction, one of immense hope and inspirational personal strength. In this episode, Nepo and Sabrina share his story, their passion for Rwanda and their hope for the future of Africa.   #Nepo tell us his story of survival of the genocide approximately 20 mins into this episode, which some listeners may find distressing.
