The team first visited the Kigali Genocide memorial site. They saw hundreds of pictures of little children murdered by the government responsible of the genocide. The current government buried them with dignity, with other unkown genocide victims whose bodies were collected all over the city of Kigali. At the mission trip team, there were 250,000 genocide victims buried in the back yard of the memorial building.

   

  

           

   

 

 

 

 Mission trip team members took time to visit different other sites and to confort one another. The first picture on the right shows Ben Schadrac, his son Daniel and another trip team member, holding and comforting oneanother to overcome the emotions of everything they experienced at the memorial site. The second picture shows a grave site of political fiugures who were against the genocide. They were the first targets to make sure that the plan of exterminating the Rwandan Tutsis regular people meets no oposition in any way. The third piscture shows the grave sites of the victims who were hiding in a college known as (ETO) Kigali, where Ben schadrac was hiding and where he was rescued from.

              

           

 

 

 

 

 

The other thing the team did was helping Ben to give a dignified burial to Ben's parents' remains and 16 other close relatives whose remains were found in the montains and in shallow mass graves. The remains were gathered in two caskets and buried in dignity even though it was more than 10 years after their murder.

Ben announced publicaly that he forgave him and he gave him a hug.  Ben decided to move on without being bound by unforgiveness and grudge.
