In the summer of 2008 I went to Rwanda, Africa to document the lives of street children at the Umuryango Home. This is the trailer of my documentary. It premiers October 2, 2009 in State College, PA.
More about the film:
In 2001, brothers Yohani and Jean Paul founded the Umuryango Childrens Network, a boys home based in Bukemero, Rwanda. Having lived through the 1994 genocide, both brothers watched their country unfold and fall behind into poverty. Many children were left behind and the Rwandan family broke apart over the years. Today there are over 7,000 street children in the capital city of Kigali alone. Because of this, they saw the need to revive their country and restore leadership in Rwanda. Their idea was to invest in tomorrows generation by forming relationships with street children and bringing them to the home so they could have food, shelter, clothing, and education. This documentary tells the stories of street children who were given a second chance through Umuryango.
