Thank you, Ms. Montgomery, for finding the time to join us.
One of the things I was keen on when we decided to do this study was that, unfortunately, if one is cold about it, unless we can do things for this generation that this has happened to, such as fund post-secondary education and so forth, and find other ways to help them deal with their own PTSD, they are kind of lost. One of the reasons I think this discussion is important is that this type of action is still happening. It's happening in Syria. It's happening in DRC. My interest is in taking lessons from this.
As we've learned through the Holocaust memorial, there are signs. We've learned there are things that we have to be aware of and that we have to keep this in the consciousness. Through the truth and reconciliation process in South Africa, we've learned that as long as we keep these events alive and in the mind, it helps prevent this type of thing from happening again, which seems to be the antithesis of what is happening in Rwanda now.
In terms of helping individuals prepare for what is to come in the aftermath of Syria and in the aftermath of the DRC, as part of our arsenal in terms of aid, what do you think would be the key things we would need to learn about regardless of the cultural differences? The cultural differences are important, but we are human beings, and we are all affected by things exactly the same way. How we respond to them is where the cultural differences come into play.
How can we better help the countries and the communities of the future deal with this type of violence?
