Brief trip to Rwanda

Jeff had a quick visit to Rwanda recently. It's always helpful to get some perspective on suffering. Here is a brief email received from him:

"I made a quick. somewhat last minute trip to Rwanda with Nathan Thielman to help him with a project on emergency obstetrics teaching here. Yesterday, we visited a few hospitals and also had the oportunity to visit two genocide memorials here in Kigali and in a town close by called Nyamata. I had read of many accounts of the Genocide in 1994, and the smaller ones over the past 40 years that lead up to it. It was something else to ride through the beautiful landscapes here and imagine it strewn with corpses. The world sat by and watched as 1 million people were systematically killed. It was sobering to say the least. We are going to Gisenyi today which is on the border with Congo. We are visiting one of the district hospitals there that has a particularly high maternal mortality rate."

More details to come....
