On Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 6 p.m., at the Faith in Action East Bay offices–8400 Enterprise Way, Oakland– Pastor John Rutsindintwarane will give a talk on his experience with community organizing in Rwanda. Pastor John learned the Faith in Action method of organizing during his internship with OCO/Faith in Action East Bay more than ten years ago. For Pastor John, the devastating effects of the 1994 genocide and the overwhelming barriers faced by the survivors fueled his search for tools to rebuild his country, combining faith with action, and building from the ground up.
We will learn about the transformative work of grassroots leaders in Mumeya, Nyange, Rusumo, Nyarubuye and other Rwandan communities who are organizing their communities to build clinics, schools, and roads and how this work is now being launched in Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and other countries in Africa.
This event is free but to better plan, people are encouraged to register at tinyurl.com/PastorJohnFeb 21.
There will be a reception after the event. Masks are required.
