    I am fascinated to have leared that Cindy McCain was in Rwanda in 1994. I would love to hear more about exactly where she was and when. I teach a college seminar on Rwanda, and have found eyewitness accounts to be a valuable teaching tool but in short supply.

    Cindy McCain also mentions working in Goma after the genocide. Did this follow from her work in Rwanda, or was it part of the same trip?

    I think it is clearly irresponsible that the media are giving so much coverage to Obama’s trip to Middle East and are totally ignoring this humanitarian venture by a group of truly committed individuals. It may be time to make some noise to the news outlets about this travesty. Thousands of people a day are dying and they are following around Barack Obama like some kind of rock star. It is disgusting. Now wonder Americans do not know what is happening in Africa.

    I agree ONE still needs a LOT more visibility.
