Thanks for an excellent report from Africa. I especially liked the part about the CCC & Africare’s work in Africa.
It is exactly for women likeTaleza and her family that we struggle AS ONE for Africa. It is exactly to make their lives better that we try so hard to get legislation passed through Congress which can help them.
I look forward to more reports like this one during Sen. Frist’s journey through Africa.
All the Best, debbie

Thank you Senator Frist for your updates. My wife and I are American citizens (from Nashville!!) and we live in the Niassa province of Mozambique and help run a non-profit agricultural resource center that provides resources to HIV/AIDS patients. We also are receiving a mechanical engineer that will help us start a well-drilling project for people in our province. We’ve been trying to contact the MCC in Maputo to discuss a possible partnership (because of the MCC’s investment with water in Mozambique). Would there be any way for someone at your office to help us arrange a meeting with them in the near future?
Thank you for your work in Mozambique. I look forward to hearing about the rest of your trip.
