| Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation I had a chance to see Hotel Rwanda for like my 7th time today. For those that have yet to see this film staring Don Cheadle (also from Oceans 11), this is a must see.
For those that may be interested, below is a link for the Hotel Rwanda Charity Foundation: http://www.hrrfoundation.org/
"The Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation, established in 2005, provides financial assistance to children and women affected by the genocides in Rwanda and other African nations. For many years, founder Paul Rusesabagina, whose efforts provided refuge for 1,268 people during the Rwandan genocide, has been speaking out about the genocide in Rwanda and other African nations, while privately donating aid to organizations helping the victims."
The foundation was started by Paul Rusesabagina who is played by Don Cheadle in the movie. The per capital annual income of Rwanda is $230.
I am in no way affiliated with this foundation. I thought it would be a great idea to bring together Traders Laboratory members to donate for an extremely good cause. The story behind the movie really moved me and I googled Paul Rusesabagina and this is what I found.
