UD Student is also Rwandan Refugee

One night in 1994, most of Clémentine Igilibambe’s family piled into their car and fled their hometown of Gisenyi, a city in western Rwanda near the border of Congo. Because the car was too small to hold them all, 7-year-old Igilibambe and her two older brothers walked alongside. People ran in every direction in an effort to escape a barrage of bombs and bullets. Amid the chaos, Igilibambe and her brothers were separated from their parents.
