Check out this  NPR interview of Susan E. Rice, our new ambassador to the UN and let me know what you think. I suggest clicking on the link to listen as opposed to reading it.  Very much appreciated her emphasis on relationships and trust as well as her openness about Rwanda.  Am going to try and get an email through to her!

PS: Had a fabulous time with Goldendale high school students last Friday. First everyone in a school wide assembly and then 4 groups of them though out the rest of the day. Having Teresa with me made if perfect!  I could not be happier than what I am right now, doing what we are doing!

Hi All, been way way to long! And after the long gap in writing this is going to be very short. Just had to share a couple of things about the time Teresa and I are having here in DC: 1. Genocide Intervention Network has brought us back to meet with their first class of Fellows. I will let this link and other links on this page explain. I just want to say how excited I am to be meeting with these 20 incredible people! 2. Great visits yesterday with NPR (News Notes will air Tuesday Feb 17, check local NPR stations for times) and VOA. An impressive tour of the VOA facility as well as a nice visit with several Rwandans working there. A summary of the interview is available to read on: http://www.voanews.com/english/Africa/2009-02-13-voa8.cfm. It’s called Teaching the Lessons of the Rwanda Genocide and you click in the upper right section to download the full audio interview. 4. Informative meeting at the Rwandan Embassy. more on that later. Got to run but had to get this up on the site. Thanks for your support and patience with my sluglike blogging. courage, Carl
