The Little Children’s Aid Junior Auxiliary is proud to present Rwandan Genocide Survivor Immaculée IIibagiza, who will share her powerful story at St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco on April 16, 2010 at 10:30 am. Immaculée’s book Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust chronicles her incredible journey of faith and forgiveness that pulled her through the Rwandan genocide in 1994. To learn more, please visit her website at www.immaculee.com.
Immaculée, age 36, is a living example of faith put into action. Left To Tell, a New York Times best-seller tells Immaculée’s story of how she spent 91 days huddled silently with seven other women in the cramped three foot by four foot bathroom as the Rwandan genocide rioted above. Since its publication, the book has been translated into 15 languages and has gained the attention of national news programs including CBS’s 60 Minutes.
“If you’ve had a hard time letting go of a deep hurt, or difficulty in releasing your offender so you can get on with the rest of your life,” writes Rick Warren, best-selling author of The Purpose Driven Life, “Immaculée’s story can lead you to the place of healing, restoration and peace.”
In her San Francisco multi-media presentation, Immaculée will recount the challenge to her faith presented by her narrow escape from a horrible death and her path to forgiveness. All proceeds from the event, sponsored by Little Children’s Aid, will support family and children programs at Catholic Charities CYO including Rita da Cascia, St. Joseph’s Family Center, Mission Day Care and Youth and Family Programming at 10th and Mission.
