Our unofficially "adopted" son, Serge, is working toward a Masters in Global IT Leadership at ACU. As a class project, Serge and his classmate, Bryton, produced this video which documents a visit Serge made to his homeland, Rwanda, this past December.
Serge let me know this was just a beginning effort as far as video production (the audio is a bit hard to hear), but it's nonetheless a riveting personal account of Serge's return to one of the "killing places" of the Rwandan genocide.
I'm reading a new book, God Sleeps in Rwanda, that details Rwanda's history of ethnic violence. I recommend you get this book and read it.

About Me
- Vann

- Husband of Susan, Pop of Katie Lea and Caroline, adopted Dad of Serge, part of the Rwanda Children leadership team. Rwanda Children doesn't preview or approve this blog. My views are my views.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
