The Route
I feel a bit lost if, when I'm traveling, I can't see where I am on a map. Here's a map of the route our group is traveling through South Africa. We began our trip in Johannesburg, and have traveled up to Hazy View. We'll be returning to visit Suweto and Lesotho. In each place there is an HIV/AIDS ministry that Hope for Humanity supports, and that you can be part of, too.

Thanks, Loren, for helping us keep up with what you are experiencing. Your commentary on the ministry done by deeply committed people is inspiring. I am always awed by the self-sacrificing service that many give in relieving human suffering.
God be with you in your travel.

The map is great, Loren. I have been over that same round east of Johannesburg and then down into Swaziland and over to the coast. There are many farms and farm towns along part of the route that look a lot like Ohio or Indiana or Kansas. Maybe there has been some progress, but when I was last there, there were also areas that looked worse than the worst Native American Reservations in South Dakota, etc.
Indeed, the most striking thing about South Africa is the contrasts. All developing countries have the very rich and the mass of poor, but here there is such obvious wealth, such feel-at-home western culture, contrasted with the worst poverty one can imagine.
