I've just ended an exciting three week long Africa trip to Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana. They've also done a similar project in Tanzania and Uganda. There are so many exciting people and organizations to talk about! They are also planning on tracking next year's elections in Kenya.

As I mentioned in my previous two blogs about my Africa trip of last July, I had the pleasure of meeting many interesting people and learning about numerous exciting, cool projects during that three week long visit to Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana. The good news is that trachoma can effectively be eliminated.
