The first post...

Hey folks. Welcome to the blog for our upcoming experience in Rwanda. Jesse & Lyn Rosten, Chris Davies, and myself (Trevor Meier) are planning to head to Rwanda to film a documentary in April of 2005.

The 10-year anniversary of the 1994 Rwandan genocide has received a fair amount of press, both in the media and on film. Much of the coverage has focussed on the hell on earth that unfolded in the 100-days following the death of the Hutu president.

A decade has passed. We are going to Rwanda with the purpose of showing the progress of restoration and healing on a very scarred nation. Our particular subject will be the Wellspring Foundation, an organization started by two friends to bring high quality education to the battered Rwandan system. Jeff and Richard are two western trained, native African whites who are bringing Western expertise and finance to support a Rwandan vision to develop strong Christian values-based education, curriculum development, and teacher training.

In Rwanda we will be joined by B.J. Schrag, Ben Farrant, Richard & Ericka Taylor, and Jeff & Jodi Komant. We're now in the process of making our preparations, fundraising, researching, and planning out our two-week shoot.

A few details are still up in the air, and if you catch this site in the next short while, we'd appreciate your prayers.

Hmmm, this could end up being more interesting than Sara's blog for sure. Thanks for posting the link. I'll be watching this site often, and praying for you all on your way. You just can't get enough of Africa, can you? It's certainly admirable what you're doing. I look forward to seeing all your documentaries become a reality someday.
