Africa is not a fun place, you know. A fun place is somewhere that lifts the spirits, that cossets the senses. I don't think that can be said of the Africa I traveled in.

What I generally get from being in Africa is a sense of warmth and openness. As a stranger, you are always welcomed into people's homes and people are always offering you food. That generosity is incredibly touching.

So you cannot, as a Christian, walk away from Africa.

I've got to where am in life not because of something I brought to the world but through something I found - the wealth of African culture.

As a kid, I always felt connected to Africa; it was something I was very proud of.

Going to Africa was being able to take my volunteering and my passion for hospice one step further.

Every time I go to Africa, I feel like I hit true north. There is a depth of feeling that I have for the continent, in the richness of the people, the suffering , but also the transcendent joy that is there - it's like nowhere else on the planet.

It gives one hope, this great strength of Africa.

I really fell in love with Africa.

I've been to North Africa many times.
