Paris Hilton is Going to Rwanda


Paris Hilton is going to Rwanda! Who would have thunk she knew where Rwanda is! Her handlers obviously told her it is a place to build her new ‘charitable image’.
“I’ll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie,” Hilton tells. “There’s so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help,” Hilton said of the region.

Wracked by genocide and tribal warfare, Rwanda currently has a life-expectancy rate of just 39 years and and only 41 percent of the population has easy access to safe drinking water, according to the humanitarian group CARE.

Hilton was originally invited to visit Rwanda by Scott Lazerson, of Playing for Good. Lazerson helped found the organization in 2006 to help high-end business and entertainment personalities become involved in a variety of charities benefiting children and families in need.

“I want to visit more countries where poverty and children’s issues are a big concern,” the 26-year-old socialite said. “I know there’s a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues.”
