Remembering A Precious Life!!
Many people left flowers over Emile's gravesite. It rained shortly afterwards. He was buried near his mother.
Tons of people throughout the Kagugu area came out to attend and lay Emile's body to rest.
Prossy praying and remembering sweet Emile.
Linda about and remembering the life of Emile at his funeral.
Emile's Auntie asked that some of Emile's friend from his photography class photograph his funeral. The main photographers at Emile's funeral were Eric and Damascene from the Rwanda Photo Class. It was a tough, tough day for all of us.
Prossy and Linda with Emile.
This was a fun night when the rwanda photography kids got to have an exhibit at Heaven Resturant last year and talk about their photographs. This was Emile talking about his photography with Prossy Yohanna at the exhibit. He loved, loved displaying his photographs and having others share and see his photography.
This past November of 2009, the Teoh Project lost one of their most beloved and precious photographers, Emile Iradukunda. He was a faithful friend, caring and generous giver and a compassionate child who dreamed of being a professional photographer. When you look through these images just know your remembering a precious life, Emile's. His memory will always live on, always!!!
