DURBAN- We visited one of four schools that Terry Rosenberg has started and which are run by a Mother Teresa-type woman who is beyond amazing named Meriam. Terry has funded 4 schools of these orphan children of aids parents and Meriam has made it happen day to day on the ground. She estimates that half of the children would be dead except for Terry's work. Five women were killed in the block of the school where we visited the day before we arrived for telling their tales of rape and incest that happen every day and night to these children. The school provides food which is essentially vegetables two times a week to these children who would otherwise starve and gives them an education...a chance to have a future...through elementary school.
Terry is making a differencc in Durham and South Africa.

We left for Europe on April 1st and flew to London to meet up with some friends we met on the Milford Track in New Zealand. We saw London on a beautiful sunny day. This guy was taking himself
much too seriously however!
Terrible that those kids are having to live through all of that (sure can't tell it ... they look like they could be in any elementary school in America!) ... Terrific that your friends are involved in such a wonderful project! Miss you guys! Looks/sounds like you're having such a great adventure though!! Thx for sharing!
