Africa Is Not A Country

This blog will be a space to reflect on my trip traveling and volunteering throughout southern and eastern Africa. Much like the book of the same name, I hope to provide a more detailed picture of some of the countries that make up the African continent from my experiences there. However, I promise only that my other blog will be better... actually read that one instead: www.workingatwal-mart.blogspot.com.

Quote

"We spend a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." -- President George W. Bush

Our President is correct that disease is a very real problem in Africa. However, while we should spend a lot of time talking about Africa, we do not. But most importantly, AFRICA IS NOT A NATION! AFRICA IS A CONTINENT MADE UP OF 53 DIVERSE, DISTINCTIVE NATIONS! AFRICA... IS NOT... A COUNTRY!!!
