return from Rwanda

This is a quick one. I just wanted to email to say that I made it back to Chamwino one week ago. Now we have two wonderful guests, for 3 weeks, who are helping with teaching English. Lewis is back too.
Rwanda was beautiful. It rained. I saw a large body of water (Lake Kivu). Lots of hills (it’s the land of 1,000 hills...they aren’t joking). I experienced Genocide memorials.
It was surreal being in Kigali and surrounding areas knowing quite well the atrocities which happened 15 years ago. People in Rwanda are peaceful and are still healing. The government seems to be trying hard to unify its people. The Kigali memorial was powerful. There have been too many genocides in the past 100 years. Let me rephrase that, there have been too many human beings killing other human beings, in mass amounts, in the last 100 years.
I met a man named John. He is 33 years old and Tutsi. He was in secondary school at the time of the Genocide. He lost 5 brothers. He is a wonderful man but you know his heart hurts. He said he can’t see the memorials…it would be too hard.
I went to a village near Lake Kivu where in 1994 every 9 out of 10 Tutsi’s were slaughtered. At the time they were 20% of that village’s population.
