Paul Rusesabagina "Hotel Rwanda"

Paul Rusesabagina was the person Don Cheadle portrayed in the film Hotel Rwanda. He was the keynote speaker today, and what an inspiring speaker he is. After talking about his personal experiences, he answered questions. Great question, and there were over 2000 people attending.
One great answer to a question, of what can one do to stop this from happening again in the Great Lakes region of Africa. using a traditional saying "If God does not provide jobs, the Devil will!" That it is not just important to educate the young, but they must have opportunities at home or they leave and change never happens.
Above, Homa bought the book and had Mr. Rusesabagina sign it for her. All proceeds go to his Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation...sending kids off to college.
