A response to the vlogbrothers video Lighting a candle for Rwanda:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDsQacsnyX4
Watch their video and then do this:
Say your name, age, country, and light a candle of hope for Rwanda and wait for 5 to ten seconds. Upload your videos of less than 30 seconds using http://www.yousendit.com and send them to videos@thehpalliance.org
Also upload them to YouTube and post them as video responses to the vlogbrothers.

The one that John mentioned is the first book on my list (We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories From Rwanda). It's such a great book.
