UMass Boston Alumni Magazine - Fall/Winter 2008-2009 - (Page 14) Indelible Images By leSlie liMoN Carol Geyer ’79, ’81 enCoUnters hope in rwanda. B 14 n rother Straton Malisaba, serving as tour guide in Rwanda to Carol Geyer ’79, ’81, and her friend Denise Dewing, stops his van to point out the base of the River Nile. When three small ragged boys run up and begin to sing and dance, one especially catches Geyer’s eye. “He looks so sad—he captures my heart,” she recalls. “I wonder, does their family put them up to this?” “Do not give them money,” Bro. Straton tells them. “We are not going to make beggars out of our children.” He asks the children why they aren’t in school. The sad-faced boy murmurs that he doesn’t have a pen, and asks Geyer if she has one. As she gives him her pen, “his face just lights up—unbelievable,” she recalls, her voice filling with the wonder of that moment. She pauses. “He is in my heart forever.” UMass Boston
