Update: I've now returned (against my heart's desire) to Europe. The African experience has been an adventure in so many ways, and I look forward to telling you all in person next time I see you. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Thank you for making the experience possible.

Welcome! This is the EllHIV (read Ellie + HIV) project page for the Tanzania trip that I will be doing this summer... In these pages you'll find some photos (soon to come), HIV information (well, I'm working on it), updates on trip preparation and subsequently on the volunteering itself, funding information...

What? 5-week mission working with HIV-infected women and potentially affected youth. Conducting self-esteem workshops, counselling, prevention programms and the role of nutrition in fighting the disease.
Where? Arusha, Tanzania
When? 21 July 2008 - 25 August 2008 (although I'm away 10 July - 15 September)
And then? And then I go back to the London School of Economics (LSE) for a Master's in International Health Policy.

How can you help? Would you like to donate? Would you like further info? Contact me by email: elliephant84@hotmail.com

In advance I want to thank you for your mental, spiritual and financial support. We all know the power of encouragement and support, and I couldn't do this without each one of you. Thank you.

This is as much "my" page as it is yours. Please let me know of info, links, or anything else you would like to see here.

If you've come this far, please sign the guestbook!!! I'd love to have some feedback :)
