Yes, it's true. In fact, Hilton says it's all part of her new, postjail commitment to use her celebrity to bring the spotlight to what she feels are important causes around the world.
"I'll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie," Hilton exclusively tells E! Online.
"There's so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help," Hilton said of the region.
Hilton was originally invited to visit Rwanda by Scott Lazerson, of Playing for Good. Lazerson helped found the organization in 2006 to help high-end business and entertainment personalities become involved in a variety of charities benefiting children and families in need.
And don't expect the Rwandan expedition to be Hilton's last.
"I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern," the 26-year-old socialite said. "I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues."
