Here’s a sneak peek into what type of resources await! Deans shares a part of his experience with the mountain gorillas in Rwanda Africa and working with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International organization.

“Town Hall members traveled to the Taj Mahal, the Amazon rainforest and the monolithic rock-cut churches of northern Ethiopia. They joined Dean as he bonded with mountain gorillas in Rwanda and provided school supplies to the Achuar, a group of indigenous people living in Ecuador.”
