			<description><![CDATA[Hello All! Here is a review of the sessions from one of my regular volunteers, Amy Xu. Hi Rachael, I just wanted to tell you how much the Rwanda Peacebuilding Seminar was a valuable eye-opening experience for me! Before, I was so busy and got so wrapped up with my life that I don't really think about those who are going through terrible experiences like the Rwanda genocide. Even when I did, I often felt powerless to change anything. Fortunately, I was able to attend one of your pilot seminar sessions, since it inspired me and gave me a way to help. The narrative we read at the beginning showed me that if this girl could try to change things even when her world was falling apart, I could and should too in my lifestyle of safety and comfort. The discussion that came afterward was an amazing opportunity to truly think about injustice and prejudice. The best part, though, was when we brainstormed how we could help--I felt really empowered when I realized that we could create change by informing others about the problems! I was amazed at how much we covered and how much inspiration I got from just that little bit of time. Thank you so much for this experience! Amy P.S. You did an amazing job at presenting everything! I could see your passion shining through, and it was great!"]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Rachael, Thank You for providing us w/ this feedback. This is extremely useful and shows that the Rwanda Peace Narratives can be used as a useful tool in the classrooms. If the goal of learning is not just for knowledge gathering but also to empower young people toward making a difference in their own "communities" then this toolkit can be one very helpful tool. I thank you and Your friends/students who used the lessons. Please continue to share your feedback and ask Your colleagues to also do the same. Sincerely Saji]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello Everyone! My name is Rachael, and I am a former intern of the Peacebuilding & Development Institute at American University. Here, I had the privilege to shortly work with the makers of the Rwanda Peace Narratives. For the past three months, I have developed a Pilot Program for the toolkit using local youth volunteers from the Key Club Chapter of William G. Enloe High School in Raleigh, North Carolina as subjects. A small group of students sit in and participate in one-hour long lectures and lessons derived directly from the toolkit that are held twice a month. The toolkit was flexible enough for me to adjust the difficulty level and tasks to my volunteers and our time constraints. Almost immediately, I could observe the positive effect on the students through our discussions and their written responses. A handful of them have been attending almost every session, and participate with more energy every time. Some have even come to me in private, asking me what ways they could influence their communities with the resources they have. In just three months, I believe that the toolkit has inspired a great number of the students in both subtle and overt ways. A seed of interest, curiosity, and self-questioning is planted at first with exposure to the narratives, and the seed sprouts as their eyes are opened to the various issues their societies face by means of the lesson plans. Eventually, it blossoms into full blown ideas, aspirations, and a determination to be the change they wish to see in their own communities. This is the ultimate goal of the Rwanda Peace Narratives, to empower youth, and encourage them to create positive change. In just three months, I have watched this happen with the same handful of students that began to attend every session. This leads me to wonder just how much the toolkit could affect students if it were incorporated into their school curriculums. I plan on continuing these sessions throughout the rest of the year, and look forward to expanding the pilot program to other local schools and community service organizations. Pictures are coming soon. Have a wonderful day! --Rachael]]></description>
