I just recently came back from a trip to Rwanda and Tanzania. I went with a group from an organization called Partners in Health, a non-profit, non-government group. This incredible organization's vision is quite mission is simple, yet brilliantly powerful: to do whatever it takes to provide the best health and social care possible for people in need around the world. PIH operates on a few fundamental principles which have led to the group's enormous success in stopping the spread of infectious disease, feeding the malnourished, providing clean drinking water, and by building schools and hospitals. These principles (access to free healthcare and education, primary care, community partnerships, serving the poor through the public sector and addressing basic social and economic needs) are the basis needed for people the world over to live healthful and full lives.

Great post!!
I've been a long time admirer of your blog (w'out ever commenting - a really bad habit of mine!!)
Anyway, I'm from Tanzania and spent the first 8 years of my life there before my family moved to Australia. It's great see you took such a great opportunity to learn and see so much of the world most ppl don't. Looks like you had a great experience!
