hi!

I am Rwandan, a genocide survivor studying at School of Finance and Banking (SFB) in final year. I am the treasurer of Students Club for Unity and Reconciliation Forum (SCUR Forum), currently it works in 20 Universities/ high learning institutions of Rwanda. So, we have been straggling to build peace in Rwanda by emphasizing the students of Universities/high learning institutions and high school students as well who are the future leaders of Rwanda. I personally, I have done a research on this topic: CAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP BE USED AS A TOOL TO ERADICATE THE GENOCIDE IDEOLOGY IN RWANDAN SOCIETY? and I am very interested, and I wishing to be there , because I real want to contribute on PEACE BUILDING IN RWANDA. I would like to know if there will be requirements to attend that wonderful event. Will it be possibly for some of SCUR FORUM committee to attend? Thank you.
