i'd be afraid to go to africa.

I know an Aussie doctor working in Ethiopia right now. I don't know the
name of the organization he signed up with, but they provide him with a
bodyguard and advised him to never leave his hotel at night, and never
without his bodyguard. He describes the situation as desperately poor.
He's treated people that walked several days to see him. But the locals
he's helping, treat him like a rock star. He's a hell of a guy, comes from
a well to do family. His father has a national reputation in Oz and he
could make big bucks as a specialist. But he prefers to work in rural
areas and help those in need. I admire him greatly for what he's doing,
but often worry for his safety. He is btw, the doctor that got my wife
through aplastic anemia.

There are many places where your safety is a serious concern all over the
world. Africa has some serious hot spots for sure... However Ghana, being
a mostly Christian and English speaking nation was unique for us. Except
for the children and poor constantly asking for assistance to better their
lives and the occasional drunk, there were no dangers to us from the people
directly. In fact, it is said that if a person starts giving another a
problem, the crowd will come to the aid of the harassed.

We went out into the poorest sections of the capital city of Accra in the
nighttime hours and found the people to be a bit more westernized at that
hour, but seriously humble and friendly.
