  • Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
    Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
    by Immaculee Ilibagiza

    Recommended By: Eli

    A deeply spiritual memoir about how one woman survived the 1994 genocide. It is amazing to read how she came to forgive her killers, even while they were seeking her out. It is also a fabulous reflection on Rwandan culture and Rwandan people. 

  • Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles
    Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles
    by Richard Dowden

— Go to the People, Live with them, Love them, Learn from them, Work with them, Start with what they have, Build on what they know, And, in the end, When the work is done, the people will rejoice, And, they will say, “We have done it ourselves.” —

Lao Tzu – China 700 B.C.E.

MGVP


 For nearly 20 years, the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project has helped the endangered mountain gorilla populations in Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) survive through providing veterinary care for human-caused or life-threatening illnesses and injuries. With teams of experienced personnel, MGVP veterinarians track ailing gorillas and treat them when needed inside their native habitat. 

MGVP has partnered with WWHPS as the organizations fiscal umbrella since January of 2008.  MGVP recognizes the importance of the WWHPS project to improve the health of the local Rwandan population, and in doing so, to help protect the highly endangered gorillas.
