We are excited to feature Serge Gasore as this year's Keynote Speaker! Serge is a native Rwandan and a survivor of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. After completing master's degrees in both Information Technology and Global Service at Abilene Christian University, Serge founded Rwanda Children to provide aid to vulnerable children in his home village of Ntarama. He was honored as the 2018 Young Alumnus of the Year by his alma mater, Abilene Christian University. In 2019, Serge was awarded Rwanda’s “Protectors of Friendship” medal by its First Lady. The medal is given to “persons who displayed outstanding acts of courage and humanity by protecting or rescuing thousands of Rwandans during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, as well as promoting unity and reconciliation among Rwandans in its aftermath.” An effective leader, Serge starts by listening. Serge and his family live in Kigali, Rwanda. He wrote a book about his experiences called My Day to Die: Running for My Life |
