He studied intermittently TV journalism in Belgium and France from 1990-1993.The author holds a BA in Philosophy and Master's Degree from the University of Lomé in Togo and holds several diplomas in Education, TV Journalism, and English as a second language.His youthful sense of hope and optimism would soon be dashed as he found himself fleeing genocide in 1994 and living in exile. During his first 2 years of exile, he had hopes of one day returning to his homeland but again watched how his countrymen, this time his Hutu kinsmen, desperately faced a second Rwandan genocide in the Congo DRC in 1996.He then exiled in Canada, only to learn there was an international warrant to prosecute him as a participant in the 1994 genocide. Fear, trauma and uncertainty were part of his life for 9 years before it could be confirmed that the accusations that he was a war criminal were baseless.A life-long learner, Jean Jacques Bosco is concurrently completing a BA in Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, Canada and an LLB in Criminal Law online at the University of London in England.In Canada, Jean Jacques Bosco has owned and operated a Soccer Academy since 2000, and he continues to be a community soccer volunteer.
