HISTORY

During the night of August 13, 2004 in an African refugee camp in Burundi, called Gatumba, 166 innocents from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) were mercilessly slaughtered by armed factions — the majority of whom were defenseless women and children from the Democratic Republic of Congo. All were targeted based solely on their ethnicity. Since that horrific night, Gatumba survivors and their families have relocated safely in North America.
