We have not posted for quite a while and tonight's post is quite different from any before.
I met a man from Rwanda through our work at The Reserve. His family received much of the furniture in his Habitat house from us. We have become friends and we occasionally break bread with his family.
His name is Elyse Gasigwa and he is my hero. He worked through the Rwanda genocide delivering water to the orphanages during the 100 days for total terror. He faced gun fire, death, injury and total fear but yet he struggled on.  To really know the man, read the genocide account written by Carl Wilkins titled "I'm Not Leaving"  It is in that account that I realized what a hero he is.  He seldom left Carl's side as they worked to help those needing help the most.

In the States, Elyse has found work at Healthwin in food service. His English is broken but he is learning. Until a short time ago things were going well.  However a new employee at Healthwin is attacking Elyse.  He screams at him for no reason, calls him stupid, and wonders aloud why Elyse is in the States taking up jobs Americans could have.
 
To the point of this blog.  Does anyone have a job for this gallant man.  He refuses to fight this attacker.  He simple wants to work and support his family.  He lives in Mishawaka and I have contact information

Any leads can be directed to The Reserve's number at 574-383-9367 and we will see that they get the Elyse.
