A Wedding in Mutwanga
Category: Life in Mutsora | Date: Mar 13 2007 | By: admin
Following the birth of Samantha, I want to also share with you the photos from the wedding of one of our men from the 2nd Troop, Kambale Mulewa, and his wife Jeanette Muhongya.
The ceremony started at seven in the morning in the Catholic Church of Mutwanga, which is just outside of the park at Mutsora.
And was followed by a small tour of the town in the ICCN vehicle.
It’s a small journey of a few kilometres, but it gave everyone a chance to see the bride and groom and join in with the festivities.
Below you can see a video of the tour when it was outside the Hotel de la Neige (The Hotel of Snow), where visiting guards stay when they come to Mutsora for training.
And here you can see me with Mulawe, helping the bride down from the vehicle.
Afterwards we went to the house of Mulawe, and asked for God to bless the new couple.
And then we gave gifts to the bride and the groom.
The ceremonies were followed by lots of dancing, which continued for the rest of the day.
And here you can see us with Will from the WildlifeDirect team, looking at all of the photos of the wedding.
And here I am with Mulawe, the once happy groom and now happy husband.

Congratulations to Kambale & Jeanette. Looks like it was a magnificent wedding.
I commend Kambale in fighting to save the gorillas as a ranger. These special “cousins of Mankind” must not become extinct.
I saw the shocking photos of the recent massacre of the four gorillas on the MSNBC website.
I pray that the rangers continue to make progress in conservation of the gorillas. Thankyou.

I am just now doing research paper on the Congo’s of Africa and all of the hard work the rangers are doing to keep the park safe. Is it as dangerous as they say? I am going to place a donation what do you feel that you need the most?
Thank you for sharing the wedding it was beautiful. It looks like you had fun.
