From Rural Rwanda to Urban Chicago

Meet Derrick Rugema

Thursday March 26, 2026 at 7 pm Central Time
(8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific)
 
We invite you to join us in a pre-recorded interview between Gashora student Derrick Rugema and AFJHAR Board member Dawn Helwig, followed by a Question & Answer session. Derrick grew up in a small village outside of Gashora, Rwanda, where he lived with his mother and 3 siblings. He joined the older students at Journey House Actions right before his junior year of high school. After graduation, he was accepted into North Park University of Chicago, which he began attending in the fall semester of 2024. In this interview, Derrick talks about the “culture shocks” that occurred in making this big move, along with his vision for his future and for the future of his country.
