Thank you, Ms. Montgomery, for taking your time to speak with us today regarding the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide and for your time and effort involved in improving the lives of those who were affected.
During your time in Rwanda you observed children who were born from this tragedy and noted that the mothers have palpable disgust for these children and seek to dissociate from them in all aspects of their lives. Now these children are adults and are experiencing feelings of rejection and are unsure of what to do in life. In your account in the Montreal Gazette, you explained that they have a few mental health issues and that health workers are not available.
In your opinion, how can these children improve their lives? Are there other resources available to them besides the aid workers?
