A Truth Untold

For the month of April, most of my posts will be to a new website, which is entitled "A Truth Untold."  This will be the reflections and documentation of a project I am undertaking with my roommate Amir to capture the 15th commemoration of the Rwandan genocide.  As we travel throughout the country, we will be posting pictures, videos, and written reflections about our experiences and our discoveries through reading and traveling.  I hope you will join us on this journey!
