In 1993,15-year-old Jean Claude Nkundwa witnessed genocide in his village in Burundi, one of many perpetrated by both Hutus and Tutsis over the country’s modern history. Family members and friends died that day, but Jean Claude escaped and eventually was able to overcome his fears and anger. He came to CJP to learn more about how to help Burundians deal with their traumas and reconcile in peace. (More of his story on facing page.)

The world needs more leaders working for peace and justice. Please help CJP educate, train and nurture promising new leaders.
