Grace Rwanda supports the play, Miracle in Rwanda, based on the book “Left to Tell” by Immaculée Ilibagiza, telling the story of how she survived during the Rwanda genocide in 1994. The story also represents what other Rwandan survivors had to live through including Elizabeth and Marie Louise, Grace Rwanda Society’s Co-Founders.
