Reliving the genocide, and hoping for the future

Today was v**y inspiring. Jean-Marie the 4WD driv** who took us to Bukavu a few months back, arrived with his Toyota at 07:30, as arranged. Since the cam**a crew was not to arrive until about 1:00 pm, I freed him to return at 12:00. I spent the morning working on my laptop. Gordon had managed to find me an alt**native itin**ary; so I could make the choice to leave Sunday or Monday (with a hefty surcharge). I decided to wait to see how the shoot went in the aft**noon before deciding wheth** I ...

To Rwanda

This morning I was up very early. I had an 08:00 flight to Kigali, and had arranged a taxi for 05:30. The driver, named Samson, called the room promptly at 05:25. It was a pleasantly cool morning. We drove through the still-sleeping city. Samson smiled as we drove through town. "This is a good time to drive in Nairobi" he said "there is no traffic!" The streets were empty: what would take forty minutes during the day took ten minutes now. The flight left half an hour late. We flew about ninet...

Arrival in Rwanda

Thursday (this morning), we arrived in Nairobi just before dawn, delighting as we deplaned onto the tarmac in the cool night air that so contrasted with the heat and humidity of the coastal areas we had just left. We went to the Kenya Airways lounge for frequent flyers and had it almost to ourselves for several hours. We dozed off and on in the lounge as the sun rose and the day started. We would all have loved a bed, but there was not enough time before our next flight to make a hotel run wo...

... I had to tell the driver there was really no hurry! There was no emergency&#8230;until he crashed and kills me! He laughed and just carried on! I hung on for dear life!<br><br>The patient was well, really NO emergency driver!!! He was in the ICU of quite a large and relatively advanced hospital. His last chest x ray was done the day before, and there was still a little pneumothorax there! Ah! My biggest nightmare!<br><br>So to all ...

The African Staff Meeting

... sure if he meant that we all know better than to do it or if he means that we all already do it. And Creepy Teacher nodded too vigorously for my taste. (NB: Creepy Teacher, like Secretary and Cashier, is known only by that designation. He fits it too.)<br><br>5:08 pm: More letter. It&#8217;s been at least an hour. (As you can read, despite my thoughts on the matter, it was not yet an hour.)<br><br>5:14 pm: Letter done. He says, amazingly un ...

100 Lbs Soaking Dry

... from quickly drying wells. These cost, albeit not much by western standards, and take some amount of labor to get. Also, the supply is sharply limited, leaving us with very little to use on a daily basis. That means washing is limited, in the body and clothing sense, falling below to the more pressing needs of cooking and boiling water to drink.<br><br>To be fair, I shouldn&#8217;t complain. This is a common constraint of the developing world ...

Finally Silverbacks

... both suddenly absolutely exhausted. It's been an action packed 2 weeks and everything went to plan. We squashed the Genocide Museum in on the way to the airport. There was a memorial service going on which is a pretty frequent event by all accounts to ensure the &#8220;never again&#8221; message doesn't disappear, but we&#8217;ve had that before haven&#8217;t we e.g. WWII and Cambodia to mention just two? The world just doesn't seem to learn from history&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;

Some rest at Camp

... The first answer of course was: Moses. Actually it was Aaron who was Moses spokesman. None of the campers could get the right answer but Mrs. Mundeli did, so she won a piece of candy and for a moment was single-handedly winning the Bible Bowl&#8230;.<br><br>We went on until 5:30 with team &#8220;la Victoire&#8221; beating &#8220;les lions&#8221; by only one point.

He covered the following:<br><br>-&#8220;Will those who died without knowing the truth be punished, or will they have 'another&#8217; chance for salvation&#8221; He explained that if one doesn&#8217;t know the truth, one never really had a chance for salvation, so it is really a first opportunity to come and not &#8220;another.&#8221;<br><br>-&#8220;W hat advice would you give to ...
