A United Nations observance marking the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the dignity owed to every person.
A day for the thing remembered at the door, bought before closing, delivered before supper, or rescued just in time.
December is when Burundians abroad start buying tickets home. The diaspora sends money all year but December is when they arrive in person with suitcases full of gifts and stories about life overseas. The village celebrations double in size, the Primus flows like water, and every mother gets to see her children again. Homecoming in Burundi is not a visit. It is a return.
