The church has since been preserved as a memorial to honor the lives lost.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the memorial, Peter Geleta, CEO of Trinity Metals Group, reflected on Rwanda\u2019s journey of recovery and reconciliation over the past three decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing at this memorial today is a great honour. We&#8217;re remembering those who lost their lives, and we&#8217;re also honouring the brave survivors. It\u2019s 31 years since this happened, but I\u2019m always amazed by how quickly Rwandans rebuilt. If you look at the country today\u2014under their leadership\u2014what has been achieved is a shining example to the rest of the world,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at all the conflicts happening globally, there are many countries that could learn from Rwanda. They came through their darkest period and rebuilt through reconciliation, love, and unity. It\u2019s fantastic to see what\u2019s possible when people come together after such a very, very difficult time\u2014and I really commend all Rwandans,\u201d Geleta added. <\/p>\n<p>He also appealed to Rwanda\u2019s youth and young people around the world, urging them never to forget the atrocities of the past\u2014even if they were born after the genocide\u2014and to take an active role in ensuring such tragedies never happen again. Geleta emphasized that prevention begins with mutual respect, love, and collective responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>After visiting the memorial, the Trinity Metals delegation continued to Impinganzima Hostel, where they met with elderly genocide survivors whose families were wiped out during the genocide. <\/p>\n<p>One of the residents, Agnes Mukandanga, shared her gratitude for the visit and what it symbolized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes I used to sit and feel like there was no one left who cared about me,\u201d she said. \u201cBut today, I feel loved, seen, and remembered. When someone thinks of you and says, \u2018I\u2019m going to visit the Intwaza in Bugesera, to comfort them and see how they\u2019re doing,\u2019 that means everything to us. We never thought we would be loved again like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Geleta concluded the visit by thanking the Government of Rwanda and the Unity Club Intwararumuri for initiating the Impinganzima concept, which provides elderly survivors with a dignified, loving, and supportive environment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-87529\"><img decoding=\"async\"
