Pascal Maitre / Cosmos for Geo Germany
A Saint in Hell… in the Great Lakes Region.
In the heart of the Great Lakes region, there, in the midst of chaos which has left devastation in its wake in Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo, where hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the violence, and where hundreds of thousands more had to flee struggling to survive in the largest refugee camps in Africa, where prisons were packed with tens of thousands of people, where tens of thousands of other lives have been decimated by poverty and AIDS, there in darkness without any apparent glimmer of hope, a woman from Burundi - Marguerite Barankitse, known as Maggy - has brought light and hope, building a future for thousands of children orphaned by war and AIDS.
