In this blog I'll be telling you about the work of Hope for Humanity in South Africa and Lesotho. A bit of background:
HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact in South Africa, where more than 5.3 million people are living with HIV/AIDS. Hope for Humanity has a unique partnership with a community based organization known as "Nhlengelo," and the blog will document the visit with those leading out in the work there.
Lesotho is the country with the second highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS among adults, estimated at 25% in 2003, and certainly higher than that among much of the population. Maluti Adventist Hospital is on the frontline of response to this devastating pandemic, and the blog will take a look at the challenges and commitments that the staff there has made in the fight to save the people of Lesotho.

Loren, it was exciting and almost surreal to see a photo of you during your 16 hour flight to South Africa.
I've sent your first blog postings on to several friends who I know are also going to be keen to read your spiritual safari with Hope for Humanity, visiting their programs for AIDS victims and others who are in need.
I appreciate your taking the time (n spite of certain jet lag) to inspire me to read Cry the Beloved Country. I am looking forward with high anticipation to your next posting.
