Africa... a beautiful, diverse, and complex continent. My friend Mark and I went to Rwanda, Tanzania, and South Africa a few months ago and this rough cut of our experience. We went with Kidcare, a nonprofit that supports orphanages and women's rights and education. This is more of a 'stream of consciousness' emotional tour than a report, so we don't title people's names etc. but just tried to show how genocide, tribal fighting, and AIDS all relate and produce orphans. Most orphanages were near Arusha, Tanzania near Kilimanjaro. We did go hunting with the bushmen and visited the Massai, safari in Ngorongoro crater, and more. Africa is a land of hope and promise and I can't wait to return and see my friends again.
