Although this is a bit off this blog's main focus, I found this article on Western medicine in Africa very interesting:

Thabo Mbeki, the president of South Africa, has been outspoken on similar issues, especially regarding AIDS. I'm looking forward to seeing these feelings "on the ground" in Africa.
Wikipedia article on Mbeki's views on AIDS:

How exciting for you and Sarah! I saw this post and felt I had to share some info about the organization I work for (Direct Relief International) and the work we do in South Africa. Check this out: http://www.directrelief.org/WhereWeWork/Countries/SouthAfrica/SouthAfrica.aspx. Some interesting info and links that you can check out, especially since you'll be in the Eastern Cape/Port Elizabeth area.
