Dire oui à la Vie ! Logothérapie au Rwanda

21 years after the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, children of Rwanda that had to face horrors became now adults. Unfortunately a major part of those people have lost most of their family members and a lot of adults found themselves abandon in streets. <img alt="Enfant-1430598434" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/193214/enfant-1430598434.jpg"> « Say Yes to life in Rwanda ! » is a project that aims to develop a psychological support for numerous people living and suffering in Rwanda. The ‘form’ of this psychological support is based on a psychotherapeutic school called « Logotherapy ». Logotherapy is a school of psychotherapy focusing on meaning and values. Founded by Viktor Fankl, neurologist, psychiatrist and philosopher, logotherapy is considered as a ‘brief therapeutic process’. Viktor Frankl was Honoris Causa Doctor in around 30 universities around the world. The approach of the Logotherapy is based on 2 pillars: Freedom and responsibility, whatever the person environment. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F7V246QTKLX4%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7V246QTKLX4&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F7V246QTKLX4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe> Eva Roettgers, a German woman doctor spent around 30 years of her life in Rwanda.
