Faith in Action Lecture Series
Dr. Deogratias Niyizonkiza and his wife, Cathryn Christensen will speak on Thursday, February 15th at 7pm in the Rochester Room of St. Thomas More.
Dr. "Deo" is an American citizen, born in rural Burundi, where he attended grade school and part of medical school. He left the country during the catastrophic war that lasted more than a decade.
Deo survived not only this man-made tragedy and poverty but also homelessness in New York City. While in New York, working, but homeless, he was a grocery delivery person who happened to make a delivery to Saint Thomas More, where he was greeted by Sharon McKenna. Sharon recognized his needs and connected him with a family who fostered him. Sharon encouraged his dreams all along the way.
He eventually enrolled at Columbia University, where he received a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and philosophy. After graduating from Columbia, he attended the Harvard School of Public Health, where he met Dr. Paul Farmer and began working at the medical nonprofit organization Partners In Health. He left Partners In Health to continue his medical education at Dartmouth Medical School.
In 2005, Deo traveled back to Burundi. There, in the remote village of Kigutu, he established Village Health Works, with the goal of creating a model healthcare system. Village Health Works opened in December 2007; its main building is The Sharon McKenna Community Health Center.
