 on Studies Program to talk about the road to reconciliation and healing af
 ter conflict and extreme violence. Attend this event to hear his incredibl

 Ministry.\n\n \n\nKizito Kalima is a survivor of the 1994 Genocide Against
  the Tutsi in Rwanda and the founder of the Peace Center for Forgiveness a
 nd Reconciliation\, a not-for-profit committed to educating on genocide aw
 areness and prevention\, as well as creating healing spaces for both victi
 ms and perpetrators of mass atrocity. After losing much of his family to g
 enocide and barely escaping himself\, Kalima found refuge in sports\, whic
 h eventually brought him to the United States. Kalima went on to pursue a 
 degree in criminal justice and later founded The Peace Center for Forgiven
 ess and Reconciliation (PCFR). The organization received official 501(c)3 
 status in 2014\, the same year in which Kalima was invited to share his li
 fe story at the United Nations 20th Commemoration of the genocide in Rwand
 a.\n\nThe PCFR provides a wide array of services under the umbrellas of
  genocide awareness and prevention\, and peace rebuilding projects for you
 th and adults. Along with speaking events and maintaining a museum dedicat
 ed to genocide history and awareness\, the organization is also working to
 ward a permanent Genocide Memorial in Indianapolis. Through peace rebuildi
 ng projects\, they support kids and young adults in school and through spo
 rts\, music\, dance\, and poetry programs. The organization also supports 
 the healing of adults\, many of whom are first generation survivors of vio
 lence\, through a variety of therapeutic\, social\, financial\, and career
  services.
