Dr. Allen spent three weeks this summer volunteering with an HIV positive woman’s group in Tanzania. The group is called Jipe Moya, and she spent most of her days teaching English and visiting HIV positive people too weak to leave their homes. She also helped advise the group with their small business…raising chickens for meat…kind-of ironic for a vegetarian! Even though the weeks were spent working, she was able to get away on two on the weekends. The first was spent on a safari and the second climbing a 15,000 foot peak!
Here are just a few of the pictures…
The first week's class was full of children because they were on break from their regular school. Unlike the US, African kids think its a privilage to be able to go to school!
Most of the time the English class had older students who wanted to learn English to improve their business potential.On SafariThey say this is the most dangerous animal in Africa...
