what lies beneath

 

Our character is often built upon our faith, our perseverance, our attitudes and beliefs and our relationships.  Immaculée Illibagiza, a young survivor of the Rwandan genocide, is a living example of how faith can pull one through the most devastating and challenging circumstances.  Her story of terror, endurance, healing and forgiveness, shared through the words of Left to Tell, has become an inspiration and has drawn the attention of significant leaders and government figures. Based on her work with the Left to Tell Charitable Fund that seeks to support the children of Rwanda by rebuilding and restoring their lives, Save the Children would like to present her with the Save the Children Humanitarian Tribute for Peace and Reconciliation.  Save the Children seeks to acknowledge and give tribute to those who have displayed and exemplified an effort to bring peace and reconciliation into the lives of vulnerable children.


This brooch is composed of three layers which have been fabricated in sterling silver and copper.
