The European Summit for Global Transformation

The Pachamama Alliance will lead an Awakening the Dreamer session. The Pachamama Alliance’s Mission is twofold: To preserve the Earth’s tropical rainforests by empowering the indigenous people who are its natural custodians; and To contribute to the creation of a new global vision of equity and sustainability for all.

JenLemen3Jen Lemen and Innocent Bajeneza will present their work in Rwanda. How did an American Mom and a man in Rwanda form a partnership that reunites families and builds homes and schools? Hear their story to find out! Jen (with Stephanie Roberts) won this year’s Lenovo/Microsoft Name Your Dream Assignment contest with her Picture Hope project. She’ll talk about her mission now: to excavating stories of hope, unleashing the power of partnership and community across race, class and socio-economic lines. Innocent, in his first trip outside Africa, will share the notion of “turikumwe,” “we are together,” and how it is fueling Rwanda post-genocide. He’s just opened Turikumwe Nursery School in Rwanda, welcoming 60 students in this vision of hope, community and reconciliation.
