Who is Aloise from Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust and what is their importance?

Aloise was a very close friend of Immaculee's mother, Rose. She shared her story with Immaculee about the way she had contracted polio as a child and could never walk again. Aloise, however, didn't let polio hold her back. She was a gifted student, and when Rose discovered that she couldn't pay her school tuition, Rose paid it for her. Over the years, Rose continued to support Aloise, and Aloise attributes her many successes to Rose's generosity. In an effort to repay Rose's kindness, Aloise offered Immaculee and her friends a place to stay when they were liberated.
