STORM LAKE, IA (10/03/2012) A Buena Vista University student, Sonia Mugabo, will get the opportunity of a lifetime when she interns in New York City alongside someone she has always admired, Rwandan author and fellow genocide survivor, Immaculée Ilibagiza.  "It means so much to know that I will be helping such a phenomenal woman," says Sonia, a senior graphic design and visual communication major from Kigali, Rwanda. "Immaculée is a true hero to me because as a Rwandan, it is inspiring to see a woman so strong share such a moving message of peace building and forgiveness."  Ilibagiza, who has received a number of humanitarian awards and honors, is regarded as one of the world's leading speakers on peace, faith, and forgiveness. She is the author of the award-winning book, Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust, and spoke at an Academic and Cultural Events Series about her experiences as a survivor of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994.  "Immaculée's message of forgiveness is very brave and strong," says Sonia, who was four years old at the time of the genocide and had members of her extended family killed.
