For Gilbert, The Olympic Torch is a Symbol of Hope and Survival

For Gilbert, The Olympic Torch is a Symbol of Hope and Survival

Gilbert Tuhabonye was honored to represent Burundi by becoming the first torchbearer ahead of the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta, Georgia. For a man nearly burned alive to bear a flame as a symbol of peace and friendship, it was a full-circle moment for Gilbert. In recognition of the Paris Games, we talked about this extraordinary experience with him.
