　　Members of a student genocide survivors group walktogether to memorialize those who were killed 20years ago.

　　Still in high school, most here are too young toremember the fighting, though their lives wereforever changed. Many lost family members, including their parents.

　　They come to the Nyanza memorial site to grieve together and to offer support to each other.It's a kind of community service, born out of the tragedy of the past.

　　“It is important to come because it is the best way to honor the bodies of our parents, ourfriends who are buried in these graves," says Fabien Akalikumutima, 20, who leads educationprograms for the group.

　　The site memorializes some 2,000 people who were killed in April 1994, while taking shelter at anearby school.

　　Students say education is key to preventing a repeat of the past.

　　“Through telling the truth of what I know and through helping the young children who aregrowing up, I have to explain to them clearly what happened because there are some peoplewho can explain to them in the wrong way,” said Akalikumutima.

　　Hope for the future

　　The country still bears the scars of the genocide. But development is all around - andopportunity beckons a younger generation keen to rebuild the country.

　　Christian Kwisinga and Marie Josée Uwayezu this year were accepted to Dartmouth College inthe United States, after studying with the Bridge2Rwanda program in Kigali.

　　Both are looking forward to a better future for their country.

　　“When you are getting an opportunity you think that you have to also give an opportunity tosomeone else, because you know we are just being one nation, that's the thing,” said Uwayezu.

　　“You can find that [after] what has been harmed by the genocide, now we are in a time ofreconciliation and peace and I believe that is not something that should affect anyone'sthinking about what he wants to do in the future,” said Kwisinga.

　　Through memorial and public service, Rwanda's younger generation keeps one eye on the pastand another on the future.
