Art of Rwanda 

My friends from Kigali returned to my school today.  They bring art, dance, singing, music and stories from their culturally rich country.  Pacifique travels the world telling his story to support his NIYO Cultural Centre. The organization keeps kids off the streets in Kigali and in school.

Pacifique and Tresor traveled 8,000 miles from Kigali Rwanda to St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. They brought with them a message of Peace through their Artwork, Dance, and Music. Pacifique founded the NIYO Cultural Center and the NIYO Arts Gallery. They have inspired our building to think globally.
