NEW YORK - Her trip to Rwanda has been postponed, but Paris Hilton is still determined to use her celebrity status for good causes.
"I want to travel the world," the 26-year-old socialite says in an interview posted on the Web site of the syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra." "I feel like there's a lot I can do, and a lot I can do to help."
The Playing for Good Foundation announced last week that Hilton's philanthropic trip to Rwanda has been postponed due to restructuring of the children's charity. On her itinerary: visits to schools and health-care clinics.
Hilton told "Extra" she will now pack her bags for the African country sometime next year.
"We were supposed to be going in November, but then the charity is doing restructuring and figuring things out. It's going to be for next year," 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 people's lives."
Hilton announced the mission in September, several months after serving a 23-day jail sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
"I want kids to know, even if you're 15 or 16 years old, you can do something," she said in the interview.
Entertainment value.
Should read, ‘Pairis Hilton to give head to Rawanda next year.’
Do you really think that ANYONE on FR has done a tenth of the crap this diseased drunken slut has done in the name of partying?
If you do then you live in a weird world. Enjoy yourself while crashing your car for the tenth time.
do you think Sally Struthers will try to feed her while she’s there?
God save us from the pretentiousness of pop whores.
If she wants to do something, give to charity.
Hillary wants Paris for herself. Bill will have to go on safari elsewhere.
The Internet became big shortly after I settled down and got married (93). So I'm in the clear there.

as long as she isn’t driving, they should be ok.
Maybe we’ll luck out and they’ll cook and eat her.
Someone forgot to pay the bill on a storage unit she had. The contents that were auctioned off contained a prescription in her name for Valtrex
There’s a joke here about her porn videos, but I’m not going to make it.
Valtrex is prescribed for a number of different conditions, only a small percentage of them being sexually transmitted diseases.
Haven’t they suffered enough already?
Really? I'm sure it has alternate applications, but please do tell why they are spending a fortune advertising for Herpes and dedicating their ENTIRE website to Herpes, when only "a small percentage of" its uses are for STDs?
Are you her publcity agent?
Is Paris actually aware that Rwanda is in Africa? Or that Africa is a continent? On our planet?
‘If she is truly trying then give credit where its due. How many of you all partied when you were young?’
Better question to the forum;
How many of you have driven drunk, got busted afterwards driving drunk, with a suspended license, and the local sheriff coddled you for 24 hours or so?
You want to defend this inspid airhead, and this latest grandstanding stunt, go right ahead, be my guest.
But don’t ever put her in the same catagory with me.
