Nearly a year on since my journey with EIL Ireland began and I find myself in a position of great gratitude, not only for the opportunity to travel to South Africa, the opportunity to taste a culture, meet a people and witness a landscape so beautiful and varied but now in particular, I am truly grateful for being introduced to the issues of HIV in Ireland, to be given the opportunity to become more aware, less ignorant to the issues of our own citizens as well as those from other countries.
