Yes. I think probably the best way to respond to that would be to share that several groups of women have been brought together because of their circumstances, whether it be their inability to function, their psychological disorder, poverty even. These factors have brought women together into groups, and having come together, a natural family has been produced, in the sense that they've had an opportunity to share their experiences. It may start small, but as they begin to get to know each other and share a little at a time, the door opens to share more and more, which then allows them to have a very safe place in which to just be. In this condition, they really, truly, do come to be family.
I don't know how much more I can say about the family piece. Rwandans are very closed off to anyone outside the family. I will give you an example. One of our graduating classes of seamstresses, many of whom were victims of rape during the genocide, said they came to our centre for counselling. They were completely debilitated, unable to function, and somebody recommended they come to the centre. Realizing they needed more than just the counselling, they needed somebody to get them out of their poverty, we set up a sewing school. Sitting around the circle and quilting, if you can imagine, they started to share their stories. Upon graduation, the valedictorian of the first class shared that she came for counselling, learned a trade, but most importantly gained a family. She's a fully capable, functioning mother, who has been able to accept her child who was conceived through rape, and that has all come through this process.
Does that answer your question?
