This voice in my heart

In 1993 the violence in Rwanda spilled over into Burundi and the centuries-old battle between the Hutu and the Tutsi tribes of Africa came to Gilbert Tuhabonye's school. As a Tutsi he wasn't too worried because his country had always had peaceful relationships between Hutus and Tutsis. All that changed in a single day when the Hutus won the recent election. The Hutus came to his school, forced more than one hundred Tutsi children and teachers into a small room, and slashed and burned what they could. When it was over, Gilbert found himself the sole survivor. Today he lives in Texas and is a world-class athlete, running coach, and celebrity.
