In the last part of the book that I read, it talks a lot about the Hotel Mille Collines, which is the hotel that Paul worked at. In a very poor and unwealthy community, the hotel was very modernistic and wealthy looking. It made sure that the people who visited would get very good rooming. That stood out to me, because you think that the town would use the money to make the families more wealthy but they are all very selfless because they put that money towards making other people's stays good.
I think that my aunt is a lot like the people in Rwanda because she has good hospitality. Whenever I'm over there, she always makes sure that I'm comfortable and she makes a lot of good food. Another person that I think is like Paul, is my mom because she always stresses the importance of education in my life and wants me to do good in school.
I think that it's very important for us to learn about leardership because some people have obviously heard about being a good leader, but don't know what steps to take to become one. By watching these videos or reading these stories, people get an idea of things they can do to become a good leader.

If you have ever seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire... for some reason that is the picture I have in my head whenever I hear about Hotel Rwanda. A country that is very poor with innocent children and mothers running around doing anything they can just to make ends meet. I'm touched by hearing about the people who probably need the money for themselves but give it away to help support this "hotel". Also your aunt sounds a lot like mine! Whenever we go to visit she cooks the best meals and makes sure I am enjoying my time at her house.
ReplyDeleteana that was amazing im agreein wit karen i rellly really really real y like ur blog
ReplyDeleteI agree with your last paragraph completely. By studying good leaders and learning about what they do to benefit others around them we can also benefit those around us.
ReplyDeleteI think the whole thing about the people of the town being selfless is amazing. I can't think of another town that would do that and to do that is a great thing. I also agree with how you think everyone should study good leaders because it will benefit them and others.
