It seems that for Woods and Rusesabagina altruism is an intrinsic part of their nature. Did someone force Woods to go to such dangerous place like Congo and do her research to help her husband? First Woods only sought her place in life. After meeting her husband she found new meaning in life, especially when they moved to the Congo. Her husband Brian Hare studied bonobos – an ape that shares 98.7 percent of human DNA and lives only in the Congo. Woods went to live with her husband at orphan bonobos sanctuary. The bonobos like a human refuges and they are in need of care and attention. Woods gives them her love and regard. She says, "I want to do more than that. I want to help them" (179). She feels a great responsibility and wants to be like Claudine who is the real hero for her. She tells that, "I realize I think of Claudine as something more than human. Like Mother Teresa or Nelson Mandela" (178). She admits that these people save the world and it is not because they are programmed to do it. She says that it is not that simple. Every day for them is a choice. A choice that gets harder and harder. They are ordinary people. It is just that they do extraordinary things. Woods notices that, "As humans, we worship altruism. Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Wonder Woman – we idolize people who do good for no other reason than they want to help" (188). Why Woods risked her life and went through the danger? That is genuine love. Love for her husband, love for defenseless bonobos and love for all humans. In that same reason Rusesabagina dangers his life. He has a family that he loves, he has a nation which was in danger and they need his help. In that time Congo and Rwanda were hell on earth. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered in the country of Rwanda. Rusesabagina demonstrated extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by giving them shelter in the hotel.
