Tuesday 5th of October 2010 - Rwanda from Nkem Dennar's Perspective. .
For some unknown reason, I requested to see another memorial site (like I hadn’t seen enough). So on the way back to Kigali from Kaduha, we drove through Murambi to visit a Genocide memorial site. We were not allowed to take pictures at the site for good reason.

This one was even more graphic than the last. It had 24 rooms which contained bodies of the victims. In fact one could see some of the type of injuries they sustained e.g. cracked skulls, amputated limbs and even chopped noses. Out of the 55,000 people they suggest hid there, about 50,000 bodies were recovered and only 7 survivors have been found. The last 2 were found 3 days ago.
After looking through a few rooms we all decided we had seen enough and continued the journey to Kigali.
Our next stop was a visit to Lilie Masengesho at Butare (see picture). She’s one of the children sponsored by Solace Ministries UK. Lilie is in primary school and will be starting her 6th year from Jan 2011. Like most of the children she wants to become a doctor.
