Yesterday I had a chance to meet with a farmers association here in Burundi which is working with our new program. I had the chance to hear the story of a woman who fled her country during the crisis and spent 5 years in Tanzania in a refugee camp before returning to Burundi again. It is heartbreaking to hear about how someone can have to escape such extreme violence, only to arrive somewhere else and be mistreated because they are a foreigner while having to survive on the edge, and then when they return to their own country they are not welcome back and often mistreated by their own people. Because of her involvement in this association, she is regaining a feeling of acceptance, and self-esteem, and also rebuilding her economic stability, but still ,one can see a deep sadness in her eyes. A suffering so profound.
