Harry Edwards leaves a room full of skulls of victims from the Rwandan genocide. The Murambi Genocide Memorial is a school that has been left vacated since the genocide in 1994. The school classrooms where over 800 corpses have been preserved have been left untouched. In October 2008, 18 boys aged between 16-18 years travelled to Rwanda. They were all pupils of the prestigious Sherborne School in Dorset, UK, a fee paying school with a history of excellence. The pupils had raised £20,000 to pay for a football pitch for the people living in the Kayonza district of Rwanda. The project was overseen by the charity REACH. The boys, along with 5 members off staff, played a football match against a local team, visited various memorials and talked to people across Rwanda to try and understand the countries history and in particulair about the genocide.
