Watch videos from my (Dec/09) trip to Rwanda, visit

The beginning of this journey is surreal

I'm not sure why the entire world (OK, my entire Toronto world) is not as excited as I am about my trip. What's wrong with them?!

Today the idea of going to Rwanda is surreal and I've now moved into "production" mode for my fundraising efforts. There's not a lot to report at the moment but as I watch Bill Clinton on Ted.com talk about Rebuilding Rwanda, I think I'll ask Bill Clinton and Bono for some support.

Fact about Rwanda - average income is <$1/day. Gee, makes that Starbucks coffee seem extravagant. Hell, at that price I can't even buy a chocolate bar in my local convenience store.
