Protecting the Mountain Gorillas of Virunga

The Gorilla Girls - Best Friends Forever

26 Nov 2009 Filed under (Gorilla Orphans) by Samantha @ 10:24 am

This footage was shot by Andre using a small Flip video camera. It is raw footage that Katya has just edited and put together. So you hear all the sounds that Ndeze and Ndakasi hear in Goma - the planes, the banging (from construction) and the music. This is why they desperately need a new home.

The footage is really quite something. Andre has a good eye, and the orphans are clearly incredibly comfortable with him - and each other. Truly Best Friends Forever. Enjoy!

And thank you for your donations - we have raised over $11,000 since Nov 16th that will go toward Ndeze & Ndakasi’s new home. The UN Foundation will also DOUBLE that money - so over $22,000 in total! I will be posting all the donors for the previous week on Saturday.

    It’s so lovely to see them contented with each other after everything they’ve been through.
