Video: The IRC

Traveling to Rwanda was a very special experience for me. Not only did I have the chance to learn about the IRC’s programs through the eyes of NBC newsman and co-chairman of the IRC Overseers Tom Brokaw, I was also returning to the country where I began my IRC experience eight years ago.

Back in ‘98, Rwamagana Orphanage was just finishing its work tracing and placing orphans of the genocide with relatives and foster families. Today, the IRC is helping at-risk youth build vibrant futures.
