Swaziland Support

Donation protected
As some of you are already aware, I will be traveling to the country of Swaziland, located in Sub Saharan Africa. The small country is located between South Africa and Mozambique. Swaziland is home to world's highest prevelance of HIV in the world, with 26.1% of the population infected. In those 30 and younger, roughly 50% of the population is infected. TB is also a large problem there with the world's highest incidence of TB, and has been called the epicenter of the world's TB pandemic. 
    The many issues that face the small nation of Swaziland have been well documented and were chronicaled in a recent documentry by the PBS show Frontline. A link to the episode can be found below and is also availible on Netflix, search TB: Silent killer. 
     To help the people of Swaziland combat these public health issues, I will be traveling to the country on the 22nd of May 2015 with George Mason University. We will be working along side Swaziland health workers to lend techinal expertise and help to improve the lives of the Swazi people who are so brutally impacted by HIV and TB. While we will be traveling with the university, I will be paying my own way for airtravel, accommodations, and other expenditures. Please help me to embark on this much needed journey to help a remarkable and deserving people overcome the public health challanges they face.
