The team provided a dignified burial to Ben's parents and relatives murdered during the genocide and thrown in shallow mass graves. Following are some pictures showing the sad but necessary ceremony of burying bones.

After the painful mission of burying the remains of Ben's parents and many other relatives, the team went to visit the good shepherd children to play with them, to give out toys, to comfort the orphans and the widows.
