Burundi - Ruyigi - Orphan children dance for Marguerite Barankitse
Orphan children dance for Marguerite Barankitse (known as the 'Angel of Burundi') on one of her visits to Rutimbura, a village largely built by her and her Shalom House orphans. During the genocide, Barankitse, at great personal risk, managed to save 25 orphans, Hutu, Tutsi and Twa and built a home for them. Currently, she has helped more than 10,000 orphans and separated children who can grow up in an "extended adopted family" in security, education and love.
