Cometh the hour cometh the individual, to slightly misquote a common saying. It is a saying that automatically comes to mind as we consider the lives of Zula Karuhimbi and George Loinger, two people, from two different worlds, who at first glance couldn’t seem more different, but, on closer inspection, have more in common with one another, than they each have with those closer to home, in their own respective world.
