Induction to Rwanda

My induction to Rwanda started in Kigali at the Genocide memorial. The displays were informative and evocative. The mass graves in the gardens, the wall of names and display of pictures brought home how many people were killed, often in very savage ways, in such a short space of time. After lunch I was privileged to meet someone who is involved in reconciliation ministry. The workshops they facilitate have brought reconciliation on a personal level to many different people from all backgrounds, including westerners. The day ended with a visit to one of the largest markets in Kigali. It wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be but you could by most things you would want there from clothes, shoes and cloth, to fish, vegetables, beans and flour, live chickens, and hardware.
