Entrepreneurship: Flowers grown on the ashes of genocide

The New Times (Rwanda) has an article in which World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, praises Rwandan flori-culturist Beatrice Gakuba, for her resilience and entrepreneurship.

Gakuba left the west to start a flower-growing business in her native Rwanda that created jobs for nearly 200 rural women. She told Wolfowitz: "I came here to grow beautiful flowers on the ashes of Genocide."
