A STRESSFUL DRIVE TO EXPLORE THE MOUNTAIN GORILLA FUND IN RWANDA |S3EP7|

I have to leave lake Kivu to head to the North of Rwanda as soon as possible, and to keep on going safe with the solo overland expedition across Africa. I drive my Toyota Hilux Rafiki to the border with DRC, trying to escape the riots. On my way to Uganda, I make a quick stop at a powerful place into the Volcanoes National Park: the Dian Fossey Mountain Gorilla Fund, where I get to see Dian Fossey's famous American anthropologist and conservationist work and dedication to the mountain gorillas until she got killed. My time at the center definitely touched me deep inside, and I hope it will resonate in you too.

    Very impressive road network. People don't realize that Rwanda is poorer than Haiti. Good governance is everything. There will be a lot less people on bicycles in 10 years.

Not THIS view, ok. THIS view here!" 😄 ... Ah but yes the view was beautiful 👍. Poor Charline you look so stressed after the explosion, but you look so so relieved after you'd got the dollars! 😮‍💨 Dian Fossey was so amazing, yes you just had to go to the centre and understand her message, but I guess you never imagined you would make new friends (and one of them owns a restaurant !)😌 A really great video Charline 👏👏👏

    Rwanda is better managed and have enough precious minerals to keep it going but ethnic strife is a future possibility. Haiti has potential untapped and like most countries in Africa which was a colony of some western country or other its natural resources were reaped by the rich west not benefiting the local economy or its people. Haiti and former African colonial countries face the same problem of covert and overt influence of its politics and policies by the super power and former colonists.
