These ore 4 of the 5 projects she will be visiting on this leg of
her
tour, among many others she is currently responsible for.


Well I hope it works out well. After reading the pros and cons in
this
thread, I don't know how much good it does in some of the
communities,
but I'm sure it helps in some.

May I make a suggestion? Have your daughter take Harry along so he
can observe and report back to us with his unbiased opinion.
She'd leave him in the first wadi they come too.


I still think your daughter is a real life angel. ^_^


No she's not.She's just swanning around perfoming nothing useful.
No African would pay any attention to her so she can't do anything of
use.

It's a man's world in Africa. To them, women are less than dog turds.
Always been that way, always will.
Get your heads out of your stupid American arses.
The rest of the world is not like America.

Plonking this jackass - actually both of him


That was unbelievable nastiness toward your daughter. I've a hard time
understanding that sort of mean behavior. Heck, I'm not even that mean
toward P.L.L.C.F. retards. o_O

TDD
I am just stating the facts. Women are nothing in Africa.
Another bit of advice for "claire" man or woman.
If your daughter becomes ill, just make sure she is airlifted by to the USA
toot sweet.
If she ends up in an African hospital she may come out with worse diseases
than when she went in.
In many places for example more than a quarter of the population has AIDS.
In the same places they wash and re-use medical equipment (needles etc) that
are intended to be disposable.
There are a whole range of does and don'ts to avoid picking up the numerous
diseases over there ranging from malaria, to river blindness, tuberculosis
and sleeping sickness (now reviving).
Some of them are now drug resistant too.
I hope she has been thoroughly briefed. Even in big hotels you can get food
poisoning/listeria.

Mind you, if she gets de-hyrated and needs an intraveneous fluid she will
end up in hospital anyway.

Africa is getting worse these days.
You bloody Yanks think the world is just like America but it's not.
