Nyasaland was the perfect country for a volunteer. It was friendly and destitute; it was small and out-of-the-way. It had all of Africa's problems - poverty, ignorance, disease.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For all its problems, I found South Africa a beautiful country, interesting and inspiring.
Africa has lost its dream, and when people don't have a dream and don't pursue it, they flounder. People are shocked that I would move to Africa. But I say the place of greatest need is the place of greatest opportunity.
The culture of philanthropy is alive and very well in Africa. International aid strengthens and extends it, but in the communities where I have spent time, it is all-pervasive.
I fell in love with Africa and began helping people fix things there.
I love Africa in general South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries.
Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
Ethiopia is such a great country, beautiful place.
Going to Africa was being able to take my volunteering and my passion for hospice one step further.
There was never a nation great until it came to the knowledge that it had nowhere in the world to go for help.
Africa is really a place for the wealthy traveler. It's got some nice hotels, but they're very expensive hotels. It doesn't really cater to the backpacker or to the overland traveler.
