Passing by a local youth club in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, drumbeats set the stage as young men and women try to master the traditional Amaraba dance. About 30 people, all under 30, move to the sound of the drums with grace and vigour in equal measure under the watchful eye of their mentor. Eric Rukundo, is a 29-year-old dance coach who has been passing his knowledge onto younger people. But just like his students, Eric was born after the genocide. Eric believes that such grassroots efforts will help future generations break the ethnic barriers and live as “one people of Rwanda.” (AP video by Jackson Njehia)
