Testimony from a Prisoner of Rwanda’s Central Prison of Nsinda
A major change occured in my life after having read The Way to Happiness
This is what one of the prisoners of the Central Prison of Nsinda wrote to Criminon Rwanda’s course supervisor after having done the first Criminon course, called The Way to Happiness : “After having read the book The Way to Happiness, there is a major thing that has changed in my life: I have noticed that if I follow this way I will reap joy and happiness. I have found the itinerary that I must bring to others and I thank the people that have thought about us and their intention to bring it to us. In our eyes it is very important. If we follow this path, it will bring us a less troubled and a lot happier life.
If we manage to convince people to apply these precepts, we will bring to them a principle they will be able to use so they can re-evaluate their lives. And we will have given to some people the means to find again their place amongst men because The Way to Happiness is shut to those who cannot stop themselves from committing evil acts.”

This success story is really good! And the particular realisation (as follows: If we manage to convince people to apply these precepts, we will bring to them a principle they will be able to use so they can re-evaluate their lives. And we will have given to some people the means to find again their place amongst men because The Way to Happiness is shut to those who cannot stop themselves from committing evil acts) is bringing a lot of hope to all those Rwandese that got pushed to cooperate and act in this genocide. And not many had the integrity and power to publicly lay down arms as they knew it was their own death sentence. So this success story shows that there is possibility of rehabilitation of anyone despite whatever they have done. Things can be changed, the future can be made bright again and good can prevail.
This is a great comfort to me.
Thank you for posting this wonderful success story of someone that did confront her own acts and is taking responsibility for them.
All the best in your endeavors,
