More...






The smiling African woman with the condoms in her hands was our 'pharmacy assistant' named Happiness...and boy was she happy..Many thanks need to go out to our many translators who painstakingly translated hundreds of client histories for us. It became easier as we went along but there were still challenges and difficult stories to deal with...We hope they will continue to work with us on future caravans. Many thanks to KWIECO (Kilimanjaro Women Information Exchange and Consultancy Organization) for their unending support, getting me out of immigration jail and helping to advertise and support the caravan. It was quite an event for Moshi and we have definitely set the bar high. The picture of the young people with the African drum are a theatre troop who do traditional plays that depict stories about prevention of HIV/AIDS and acceptance of those with HIV. They spoke of ways to protect you and your partner and helping to educate others in the community. They performed during the last day of the caravan to the waiting crowd (a captive audience). It is my hope that we can get them to perform on each subsequent caravan at all caravan days.
