Welcome to my online journal. This journal is a venue for my views and mine alone and are in no way meant to reflect on the the Peace Corps or its philosophy. I only hope to bear witness to the pandemic in Africa that is killing millions of men, women, and children who, after however many years rife with their own personal struggle to survive, are dying senseless and horrible deaths at the hands of HIV/AIDS.

When I left Babe M at the hospital last night, he was in a great deal of pain. He died before morning. Cancer. He was preceded in death by his wife 2 years ago and his 2 year old son only weeks ago. He was in his late 30s and leaves behind 3 children. He was a good and kind man and the world was a better place while he was in it.
