Description: Meet Faustin Kunde, a 50-year old Rwandan ex-armed forces commando who has lived quite the life. First as a highly trained member of the FAR (Forces Armées Rwandaise), and later upon their defeat by the rebel RPF (Rwanda Patriotic Front) a refugee in the Democratic Republic of Congo (then known as Zaire).
His military skills were used first by Congo Brazzaville’s rebel and then president Dennis Sasou Nguesso, who employed him as a bodyguard and then later by Laurent Desire Kabila. Later his skills were then employed by the FDLR, a genocidal armed group that is accused of horrendous human rights abuses.

Today he is back in Rwanda, living a life that was, for him, barely imaginable.

In this Episode of the Survivor Series, he reveals all about his experience in exile and lifts the lid on the ideology that the FDLR employs up to date.

These children had been orphaned because either their parents were murdered during the Genocide, or they had passed away shortly after.
The challenge of finding homes for these vulnerable children was one that needed the involvement of the entire Rwandan community and one of the most successful campaigns to do so was the ‘One Dollar Campaign’.
