I'm a Holocaust and Genocide Studies masters student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. I've been given the opportunity to travel to Rwanda to study the country and it's history with genocide. My trip coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide. I will be blogging from Africa as much as possible, including pictures and videos, so that everyone back home can see what I'm experiencing.

First Rwanda Tech Purchase
Another brief update (I fear most will be brief until I take comps and party of my life will return). I made my first purchase for the Rwanda trip today and it was a tech purchase. I know many that know me and read this are not surprised in the least by this fact. So I was looking at buying a GoPro 3+ Black Edition for the trip to Rwanda to get some cool Point of View shots and some other ones that are easier to do with such a small and versatile device. One of the students going with me on the trip messaged me and told me about a similar device that looks promising and it is on sale on Amazon. So I did some quick research and figured it was worth the risk. If I don't like it then I'll return it and be less cheap / buy the GoPro. Here is a picture of the device I bought. I'll add a little review on here once I get it next week and get to play around with it. It's 1080p, has a waterproof case, I can strap it to my head, dashboard, bike helmet, or bike handlebars if I want. Lets hope it helps me bring back some cool footage from the trip!
