life written on wooden block

In early 1994 when I was 6 years old is when my country had a big problem. My country Rwanda is a very small country in Africa. There we have only two tribes who speak the same language. The problems started when both tribes wanted to rule the country and failed to agree with each other. That is when the fighting started and the majority of people died and others ran to other countries to search for protections.

Me, my family and other people moved from our country to a neighbor country, Tanzania to look for safety. We spent two weeks on the way to Tanzania. It was not easy because of lack of food, water, medication and other basic needs. Many people died along the way and others were killed too. some of us reached the Tanzania refugee camps. We stayed there for about two years. After that the government sent us back home.
