What a long trip home that was!! We awoke Sunday a.m. and rode in a jeep, a ferry, a bus, and 3 airplanes. You could even say we rode on a train if you count the rail in the Atlanta airport that gets you between terminals. The experience was incredible. The extremes we encountered were mind numbing - from the incredible wild life in Botswana's Chobe National Park to a filthy, dirty, dusty, barefooted orphan in tattered clothing beaming at you and asking you to be his friend. One day, I tagged along on a trip to an outreach clinic 65 km into the bush. The trip was 2 hours each way on the worst sandy, bumpy road I have ever ridden on . There were 11 of us in a Land Rover provided to Mwandi Mission Hosptial by Catholic Relief Services with money from PEPFAR (US funds for AIDS relief)! The "clinic" was a two room mud hut (about 8 x 12) with a thatched roof - no electricity or running water. The clinic ended at dusk because the medical personnel could no longer see to examine patients and fill prescriptions. I mostly observed and got to see how PEPFAR money is providing medical care and drugs to people in remote rural areas who would die without it. The nurse practioner from Mwandi who goes on these weekly outreach trips into the bush told me that these clinics would not be possible without money from PEPFAR.]]> http://www.one.org/blog/2008/08/19/a-one-volunteer-travels-to-zambia/feed/ 5 http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/29/visiting-bobo-a-child-soldier-turned-business-owner/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/29/visiting-bobo-a-child-soldier-turned-business-owner/#comments Thu, 29 May 2008 16:37:28 +0000 matthew.bartlett http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/29/visiting-bobo-a-child-soldier-turned-business-owner/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/29/visiting-bobo-a-child-soldier-turned-business-owner/feed/ 16 http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/27/visiting-forge-in-zambia/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/27/visiting-forge-in-zambia/#comments Tue, 27 May 2008 15:32:16 +0000 matthew.bartlett http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/27/visiting-forge-in-zambia/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/27/visiting-forge-in-zambia/feed/ 0 http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/16/on-the-ground-in-zambia/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/16/on-the-ground-in-zambia/#comments Fri, 16 May 2008 14:43:40 +0000 Virginia Simmons http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/16/on-the-ground-in-zambia/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/05/16/on-the-ground-in-zambia/feed/ 0 http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/26/world-malaria-day-racing-against-malaria/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/26/world-malaria-day-racing-against-malaria/#comments Sat, 26 Apr 2008 13:05:44 +0000 ONE.Partners http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/26/world-malaria-day-racing-against-malaria/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/26/world-malaria-day-racing-against-malaria/feed/ 1 http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/24/world-malaria-day-african-leadership/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/24/world-malaria-day-african-leadership/#comments Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:11:59 +0000 ONE.Partners http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/24/world-malaria-day-african-leadership/ http://www.one.org/blog/2008/04/24/world-malaria-day-african-leadership/feed/ 3
