Lauren's Adventures In Africa
Greetings from Lesotho (pronounced by its residents as la-SOO-too)! This country is beautiful and the people are wonderful, but the situation is dismal. Over 30% of this country's people are infected with HIV, giving it the 3rd highest prevalence of the disease in the world. While I am here, I will be working to help build the country’s capacity to respond to the epidemic. I hope you all enjoy my updates. I will have regular access to e-mail during my time here, and it really does make me feel closer to home, so I hope to get lots of e-mails: (lbabich[@]bu.edu)
Due to the help of my friend, Rory, I will be able to give regular up-dates about my experiences there, both professional and personal. I hope you enjoy the journey!
