Art for Gorillas

Mountain Gorilla Tracker Leonard RWAMBIBI is our guest visitor for the day and believe me he puts on a great show!

His three children, Angelique MUKESHIMANA (featured in the previous post), Gakobwa UWAMARIYA and Claude HITIMANA (all participants in AoC’s conservation learning class) laugh along with the other students as Leonard acts out gorilla and trackers behavior during the habituation process of wild mountain gorillas.


I remember my dad always doing fun things while my siblings and I were growing up and for that matter he was putting on great fun during his entire life. I think you can clearly see how Angelique, Gakobwa, Claude and the entire classroom of kids experienced a huge amount of pleasure when RWAMBIBI came to class and DANCED THE GORILLA. Who said learning can’t be amazingly FUN?

RWAMBIBI - the kids love you and we all learn so much from you!
