Each year new born baby gorillas are celebrated in an exciting event at the foothills of the Virunga mountains.These names given to the gorillas play a significant role in the on going programme of monitoring each individual gorilla in their families and habitats.
Further more there will be a kwita izina concert on the 7th of September at the KCC auditorium starting 10pm with the American singer Ne-Yo and Meddy from Rwanda..
