Description
A Boy Called Hyppo is a powerful and inspiring memoir about survival, forgiveness, and the human spirit. Born into poverty and tragedy, Hyppolite Ntigurirwa recounts his harrowing experiences as a child during the genocide in Rwanda, where he lost loved ones and witnessed unimaginable violence. Despite unimaginable hardship, Hyppolite persevered, going on to graduate from university, build a successful career as a journalist and theatre director, and establish a foundation for peace. His remarkable journey is marked by a series of extraordinary achievements, including a 1,500-kilometre walk across Rwanda to mark the 25th anniversary of the genocide. This book offers a unique perspective on one of the most tragic events of the 20th century, told with courage, resilience and hope.
