CEDARVILLE, OHIO - For many people, a hospital is a place of healing and safety. But for countless families who survived ethnic violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, hospitals can also carry memories of fear and uncertainty. Many families avoided hospitals altogether, unsure if they could trust the people responsible for their care. A Childhood Shaped by Displacement and Hope Grace Uwahiriwe knows that reality through her own family's story. Born in a refugee camp in Bujumbura, Burundi, Uwahiriwe was born shortly after her parents escaped the Democratic Republic of the Congo during waves of ethnic violence targeting the Tutsi ethnic group. What began as her family's story of displacement and survival would eventually shape her calling to help others find hope and healing.

When a government shutdown from Oct. 1 to Nov. 12, 2025, halted operations in Washington, D.C., Cedarville University junior Paige Johnson suddenly found her participation in the White House Internship Program on pause.

Johnson, a political science and international studies double major from Davenport, Iowa, interned in the Office of Presidential Correspondence through Cedarville University's Washington, D.C., Semester program. Serving in this office, she reviewed thousands of emails, letters and phone calls from the American public, helping ensure responses were accurate and aligned with White House messaging.
