Health in Africa

A friend of mine is on an excellent adventure in Africa.
He's a gifted student, a very likeable chap and he has studied Chinese medicine and is on the path to western medicine too.
He's going around the place helping out with a mine over there.
He's in the most privileged of positions: communicating with elders and bringing information to communities. His blog is very frank, well written, funny and gets you right up close to the action, Enjoy!
