Organize a Screening
Organize a screening of the movie Hotel Rwanda at a local school, church or community center. You can buy the Academy Award nominated film on Amazon or rent it on Netflix. After you screen the movie, hold a discussion about the issues raised on the film. You can use this excellent study guide to inform the discussion. After the discussion, ask participants to sign our petition for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and/or make donations to the Foundation.
Organize a Book Discussion
Hold a book discussion group based on Paul Rusesabagina’s compelling autobiography, An Ordinary Man. An Ordinary Man is available on Amazon.com and autographed copies are available for $100 through our Foundation donation page. Following your book discussion, ask participants to sign our petition for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and/or make donations to the Foundation.
Organize in Your Community
If you are involved in a school or community human rights group, ask that they spend some time focusing on current human rights issues in Rwanda and the Great Lakes Region of Africa. Feel free to use materials on this site.
Host a Fundraiser
Host a fundraiser in your community at a restaurant, coffee shop, tavern, art gallery or private home to collect donations for the Foundation. Consider showing Hotel Rwanda at your event.
