The Visit to the National Genocide Memorial

In the afternoon the team visited the Genociade Memorial. The Memorial was tastefully presented but emotionally dificult for us. We were moved by the videos, the pictures of adults and children who were murdered, the human skulls and bones,
and the mass graves. We were all quiet and deep in thought as we returned to our guest house.

Things lightened up for us after a wonderful time at an Italian Resturant with the Sousy family where the speciality was wood oven pizzas. Until this restaurant, our usual meal consisted of chicken, rice, potatoes, beans, peas, and sodas to drink.

The time with the Sousys was very helpful as we learned more about the Genocide, the political and economic climate of Rwanda.
