There have been lots of conversations this week about what we, as educators, should be reinforcing in young people. Schools have their core values, mission statements and SEAL- derivations to help provide a framework. Then I watched This 18 minute film, and it stopped me in my tracks.

The film focuses on Damas Gisimba, director of a small orphanage in Rwanda that was besieged by militias during the 1994 genocide. Learn how Gisimba, with the help of American aid worker Carl Wilkens, managed to protect, care for, and save some 400 people.
