Rising from the Ashes is a new film/documentary about a group of genocide survivors from Rwanda in Africa struggling to pursue their dream of becoming a national cycling team. They are supported by cycling legend Jock Boyer who moves to the county to help the cyclists.

The story uncovers the pain and suffering experienced by the children in the genocide, but also celebrates the birth of hope as the people of Rwanda look to the team as a source of vision and much-needed hope for the future.

Over the May bank holiday, three cyclists from Pembrokeshire cycled 333 miles coast to coast and back from Seascale in Cumbria to Tynemouth and back via the Scottish border to raise money to bring hope to the children of Rwanda.

During the Rwanda genocide of 1994, between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people were killed, and hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans were left behind. Many atrocities were committed, including those against children - Rwanda's infrastructure was destroyed leaving nearly three million refugees.

Project 333 will be supporting the charity Rwanda Restored which helps to provide the children of Rwanda, many of whom have been orphaned, with an opportunity to attend school. The charity was established by Geoff Lane, a retired HR manager, in 2006, who, after working with street children in India, visited Rwanda in 1999 and saw a country struggling to get back on its feet and felt moved to do something.

Peter Arnold, James Sandquest and Dai Job cycled to raise money towards the £75K needed for completion of dormitories for 200 girls who attend Gihogwe School, Kigali, as boarders. Land for this school was first purchased in 2005 and when the project is completed it will be bringing hope to 1,150 children who will attend the school
