I have seen the movie Hotel Rwanda and watching it was a shattering experience. Despite the fact that this country is devastated and destroyed I have decided to go there and see its nature and at least in way help it. Are there any volunteering trips for Mount Gorillas of Rwanda? I think that this volunteering would make me feel better.

Oh, I almost envy people who are strong enough to visit places of such horror, as Rwanda definitely is. I wish I could go there and help to those poor people who had to undergo one of the most tremendous bloodsheds in the history of mankind. I only hope that this will never happen again anywhere in the world. This Mount Gorillas is a national park, which is one of a few Rwandan eco-tourist attractions. There you can practice gorilla trekking and see some endangered species – the great ape and there are only about 800 specimens of this species left. I think that you can apply for some kind of volunteering as the national parks need people who would help in protecting the endangered species.
