A Congolese war survivor\u2019s story of hope, grace, and victory.<\/h3>\n

The tragedies of war do not end when a ceasefire agreement is signed or when the last bomb is dropped; they continue in subtle but devastating ways.<\/p>\n

In A Handful of Rice<\/strong>, Tr\u00e9sor Yenyi narrates how his life as a young Congolese boy is torn apart after his country goes into war, leaving him traumatized, hopeless, and angry. But one day, a mere two years after his move to America, a friend asked him, \u201cWhat do you need to make Christmas special for people in Congo?\u201d Tr\u00e9sor comes to a realization that due to the extreme poverty in Congo, it would only take a small packet filled with a handful of rice to positively impact the life of someone in Congo. This tiny realization led Tr\u00e9sor through a staggering series of events that eventually prompts him to launch a non-profit organization, Mwangaza International<\/em>, that has since transformed and rebuilt the lives of hundreds of Congolese war survivors over the past seven years.<\/p>\n

This hard-hitting memoir will open up the doors to a world where child soldiers, rape victims, and malnourished street children are the realities of life. It is a book filled with fierce tales of resilience and hope that will inspire you to beat all odds in your life and find a way through the toughest of circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
