Coming to the end of our South African experience
Submitted by AislingEgan on 17 August 2011 - 12:46pmAs our final week here in South Africa looms, special moments and memories have already formed. After spending time with the NGO, we then moved on the HIV and AIDS Clinic, where we are volunteering now. This is a day hospital with a special ARV unit (the medication taken when you are HIV+ and your CD4 count is less than 250). The unit is divided into sections where there are doctors, counsellors, nutritionists and personal advocates. All of them are there to help and support clients who have contracted HIV.

What a difference a year makes
Submitted by Ciara Cunningham on 30 March 2010 - 2:39pmI haven’t been very good for posting blogs. Lynda’s are so informative and interesting I sit back and let her do all the work! I have learned so much from her over the past few months and I am so grateful to EIL for being paired with such a passionate and knowledgeable travel partner.
