Wasn T: Health Facilities and Thursday Morning

wasn t: The Centennial College graduate was just 11 years old during the Rwandan genocide, in which dozens of his close family members were killed, according to Metro News. When he found refuge in Canada in 2000, the help available wasn t enough to stop him from falling into a deep depression. Kizito Musabimana, 33, set out Thursday morning for a 504-kilometer walk from Toronto to Montreal in a bid to create awareness for people like himself who are suffering. I tried everything, said Musabimana, recalling countless trips to Toronto mental health facilities. I just wanted to be away from people who reminded me of what I had gone through. But no one really understood me and I felt hopeless. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
