What makes Shewa extraordinary isn’t just his compassion or dedication; it’s his deep, almost encyclopedic knowledge of his community. He knows every single family in these rugged mountains, and exactly where each home is tucked. 

In places like this, where a medical emergency could mean a long, treacherous journey to care, Shewa is a lifeline. This corner of Rwanda, known for its sweeping potato fields and as the gateway to Volcanoes National Park, where Dian Fossey did her groundbreaking gorilla research, holds both immense beauty and deep challenges. And walking through it all, day after day, is Shewa, with his brilliant smile, unmatched devotion, and a heart big enough to carry an entire community.
