NEWS The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 11, 2005 - 7 RWANDA Continued from page 1 At the hotel, he said, life was very simi- lar to scenes in the Academy Award-winning movie, "Hotel Rwanda." "We survived (by drinking) the swimming pool water, that is correct," he said, adding that they put the water in garbage cans and didn't boil it before drinking, yet they some- how never got sick. As in the movie, Rusesabagina did in fact face insubordination from his employees, Kamilindi said, and routinely handed out expensive alcohol to bribe officials. One scene in the movie is particularly poi- gnant for Kamilindi - when an evacuation convoy leaves the hotel only to be stopped by a large rebel roadblock. "That roadblock was very huge, oh my God. I myself was in that convoy," he said. "I tell you that when I see it ... every time I cannot help myself. I cry." Kamilindi stared into the distance as he remembered the long afternoon. "There were many militia men and sol- diers. They were armed with machetes, huge batons and many, many other arms," he said. At one point, the militia pointed out his three-year-old daughter hiding inside the truck. Kamilindi remembered their words. "This young girl's a snake," they said. "We have to kill her also." Even now, at 14, his daughter remembers that accusation and asks him the same ques- tion she did that afternoon: "Am I a snake, Daddy? Am I a snake?" "We are still alive" Today, Kamilindi's family lives in Belgium where his ill wife receives medical treatment and his daughter attends school. He plans to visit them when his fellowship ends in April 2006, but doesn't know what he'll do afterward. If he can garner financial support, one option is to pursue a master's degree of peace and reconciliation at the University of Cov- entry in Britain. He would use the degree in the future to help Rwandan survivors heal the "injuries in our hearts." But he is not sure when he will return to his home country of Rwanda. "I think I have many things to discover," he said. "I need to forget one small time. It's not easy to forget things you faced when they are bad." To students who have seen the movie and are passionate about helping survivors, the best thing to do is to speak up when similar con- flicts erupt, he said. "The students have to remember if some- thing like that happens somewhere, what can we do? It's to tell the government, 'please do something and stop that thing,"' he said. While he didn't feel he could comment on the ongoing massacres in Western Sudan, he urged students to speak out and encourage the United States to donate money for relief. In Rwanda, education is key to stamping out ignorance, he said. "At least 70 percent of people don't go to school in my country. They don't write, they don't read, they don't know it. If this thing changed, it can give a better hope to my country in the future." the michigan daily $9.00/HR. MICHIGAN TELEFUND is now BAHAMAS SPRING BREAK hiring. Awesome Resume Builder!

But Goodin added that part of the diffi- culty in addressing the many concerns of disabled students is that disability groups have different needs and that many at the University lack an understanding of the struggles disabled individuals face. He said that informing the campus com- munity about the issues that concern people with disabilities would improve the social and academic environment for disabled students. For Hoekstra and other blind students, such as Rackham student Fred Moss, this lack of understanding often pres- ents the greatest challenge arising from their disability. Moss, blind since birth, said blind students must constantly edu- cate their peers about the concerns and desires of the blind. "Sometimes you feel you're con- stantly having to teach people what con- stitutes an appropriate interaction, and that can be tiring," Moss said. "Often I feel like I need to make a handbook on social interaction." Moss added that although his gener- al experience with people on the street and in the community has been posi- tive, he wishes others would recognize the tremendous effort individuals with disabilities must often put forth just to live their lives. "You have to be willing to go into situations and deal with obstacles and your own discomfort," Moss said. "You are always conquering it. My biggest coping mechanism is pushing through - but that is hard to learn, and I under- stand why people with disabilities get tired of pushing." In fact, Hoekstra said that while he is fairly accustomed to living on his own and dealing with the everyday issues that relate to his disability, he is not as well adjusted to dealing with other people. Although Hoekstra said the social envi- ronment of the University is better than that of his hometown, he said he still encounters individuals who focus only on his disability. "People will come up to me on the street and ask if I need help when I am getting along just fine," Hoekstra said. "Some people will assume I can't do anything, and others ask tons of ques- tions and never learn other things about myself. It is nice when you meet a person who doesn't say anything or forgets that I'm blind completely. It's important (peo- ple) realize (my blindness) is a minor part of my life," he said. In hopes of improving the overall understanding of the issues surrounding disabilities, students and faculty devel- oped a program last year promoting the study of disability at the University. The University of Michigan Initiative in Dis- ability Studies, or UMINDS, provides an interdisciplinary course on disability topics each semester and funds research grants and lectures from visiting scholars. "The primary goal of UMINDS is to expand diversity at the University by integrating the study of disability into research, scholarship and teaching," said Tobin Siebers, chair of the UMINDS steering committee. "We need to make education accessible to everyone. We need to change the ways we teach, design buildings, develop subject matter and approach the relationship between stu- dents and teachers." Siebers said that the ultimate goal of UMINDS is to establish a disability stud- ies program at the University. "Once you begin to look at disability as a critical concept and not as a personal defect, it can be seen as an intellectual tool to approach other fields of knowledge," he said. "There is the potential to change the way we see the world." Moss said the UMINDS initiative is one of the greatest strides toward increas- ing the understanding of people with dis- abilities that he has seen as a student at the University. "I am really excited to see the kind of growth going on around that initiative," Moss said. "If students with disabilities are on any campus, then indeed we have the opportunity to participate in the dis- cussion around all kinds of issues. The more we are present, the better." a MONDAY SPECIAL $4 Chipattis 8 Bdrm: 7 bdrm: 6 Bdrm: 6 Bdrrn: 6 Bdrm: 6 Bdrm: 5 Bdrm: 4 Bdrm: 4 Bdrm: 540 Packard 1102 Prospect 1016 S.

(AP) - Michigan health officials expect to have more flu vaccine available this year than last season, but that would not help much if the state faced an outbreak of the bird flu now appearing in Asia. The state may be better prepared for standard types of flu this season. An estimated 90 million to 100 mil- lion doses of flu vaccine are expected to be available nationwide, Dr. Dean Sienko, Michigan's acting chief med- ical executive, said yesterday. That's up from about 50 to 60 mil- lion doses last season. "We believe we will be in a bet- ter nosition this year than last year." speed up vaccine production. Drills already are underway in some parts of Michigan to pre- pare for possible mass vaccinations against the bird flu if it becomes necessary, Sienko said. But more vaccine and anti-viral medication would be needed to fight it, he said. Bird flu virus does not easily pass from person to person. But experts say it could mutate to a form that becomes a human flu virus that is highly contagious. That could trig- ger a pandemic, or large outbreak in many places at once.
