I have just booked my flights to Cape Town!! So happy!! July the 8th I head off, I think the World Cup final is on the 11th....

As part of my research I plan to shadow nutritionists from the:

Treatment Action Campaign,

Desmond Tutu Foundation,

Medecins sans Frontieres,

Red Cross South Africa

and the local clinics and hospitals in and around Cape Town...

...and then spend a month in Lusikisiki with Friends in Ireland. John Clark and Marion Finucane recommended a really great book 'Three Letter Plague: A young man's journey though a great epidemic' by Jonny Steinberg, an eye opener into understanding why people might not get tested in order to know their status, it is a powerful read and is based on real people in Lusikisiki, it will be fantastic to get to experience rural South Africa.

The next blog I write WILL be my last :) but I will send a link to my new blog...if I decide to create one!
