Running with Blood
Description
This is the story of Janvier Hafasha – originally from the Rutshuru zone of north Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and now living in the Kyaka refugee settlement in Uganda. Janvier is one of nearly 400,000 people (according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) who have been terrorized out of Rutshuru, most of them fleeing to Uganda.
Janvier is much more than a refugee. He is an extraordinary leader who, despite suffering almost unimaginable personal tragedies, has gone on to co-found an organization that nurtures and develops children in the Kyaka refugee camp– ensuring that they are not only fed but that they heal and grow stronger by learning to share their stories and by protecting those who have disabilities and are even more vulnerable than they are.
