Getting the hang of things

Posted on 13 Jun 2008 at 19:57

I am really enjoying my time here in South Africa and with Bobbi Bear. It is a beautiful progject that I am working on. Our organization rescues raped and sexually abused kids, goes to court with them, goes to the hospital with them, has drop in days with psychologists, tree clinics for women who are HIV + and 24 hour access. Thes organization does beautiful work and they really help make a difference. The people and country are beautiful but there is a great divide between rich, poor, black and white. It really is a shame how some people are forced to live and our region has a infection rate of 51%. It's scary to think that it is that serious of a problem but the people here are learning about the virus and how to cope. South Africa is beautiful though and so are its people.

Keep us updated!
