Holding on to Hope

Monday, May 3, 2010 at 12:13AM

Odette left her girls in Rwanda in the care of her brother Innocent four years ago to follow her dreams toward a life in America. Promises were made. Risks were taken. There was trust and hope in that decision. But Odette was deceived and things didn't work out as she had planned. No one knew four years would stretch this relationship between a mother and her daughters. But they held on to hope.

Update 05.06.10: Thank you so much for following and sharing the reunion experience with us on Twitter, and for your generous contributions to help offset the costs of connecting Odette with her daughters. Odette, Jen and I are grateful for you and eager to share the full story in the form of a rich media documentary experience.
