Maryam of My Marrakesh Travels to Rwanda

Almost a year ago now Maryam, a human rights and democracy specialist and blogger at My Marrakesh travelled to Rwanda.  In a series of searching and poignant blog posts, she told the stories of the people she encountered and the things she learned.  This is an amazing set of posts that is colourful and easy to read; not an objective newspaper article or staid historical text but the experiences of one woman reaching out to others.

It's truly a fascinating set of journals and interesting perspective. Such heartbreak and so much blood.

When my kids go back to school on Monday, I'll come back and read these posts. Because this is not a read/comment/go type blog. Requires a little more time and thought.

@ Lauren: Yes, I agree - maryam did a good job of telling her story.

@ gaelikaa: Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment! This is why I use Google Reader as I also like to save blog posts until I have some time.
