Paris Hil
ton's postponed trip to Rwanda will go ahead next year.The hotel heiress - whose five-day visit to the war-torn African country in November was "regrettably rescheduled" last week - is still determined to work with the Playing for Good Foundation to draw attention to the plight of the Rwandan people.
Paris said: "We were supposed to be going in November, but the charity is undergoing restructuring and has to sort some things out. It's going to go ahead next year."
The 26-year-old star believes her trip to the war-ravished country - which was torn apart by the genocide of 1994 - will encourage a younger generation of people to get involved in charity work.
She said: "I know Rwanda went through a lot of traumatic experiences, and I feel like if I go there, I can help save some lives.
"I lot of people do help, but they may be in the older generation. I want kids to know, even if you're 15 or 16 years old, you can do something."
Earlier this month, it was revealed Paris' Rwanda trip was being turned into a reality show.
The programme, called 'The Philanthropist', was set to feature various celebrities undertaking charitable endeavours.

Holy crap!! I read about this on the internet (while at work...) and I was totally gonna mention it to you, but then I forgot!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha! Paris!
If you see her, shoot her. Then pretend you were hunting gazelles or something. Or pretend you don't speak English. Only Swahili.
That's hot, Pat. That's hot.
Ho my god... I usually don't like her, but now with this whole "charity stuff", I'm beginning to hate her! LOL
For the first time, Im without words.
For Ashley to say that she is out of words...we are all doomed.

Paris Smarish!!!
I read in MY local paper (Le reflet) that a Bourget philanthropist is in Kigali NOW!
No delays for us, Paris has got nothing on us Bourget folk!
In our big local paper she is pictured bringing suitcases of used clothing & stuff to a Kigali orphanage!!!
Wow.... maybe some of MY stuff is now in Kigali on some little (or big?!) orphans back!!!
Cool blog Pat! I'll know who to ask for car repairs! I'm duly impressed, a 3-minute tire change is quick indeed!
Luv ya.
