Ndahimana Donation

Ndahimana was the strong young man who pushed Argentine on the chukudu and carried her through the swamp to leave her village of Shahalia. Without his help Argentine might never have made it to Goma. 

Today Ndahimana lives with his wife and children "in the pori" (in the bush) outside of Shahalia. They live in the trees, without even a hut, moving from day to day and night to night, so that they are not killed. As part of the writing of this book Argentine spoke to relatives who were able to locate Ndahimana, and Argentine hopes to be able to send a gift to a man who once carried her on his back through a swamp and to repay a kindness she thought she'd never have a chance to repay.
