In 2008, Rob Flanigen and I got the opportunity to travel to Swaziland Africa on a scouting trip for Woodmen Valley Chapel and the Third Project. We were there to see first hand how WVC could respond to the AIDS Pandemic in Africa. We traveled with Children's Hope Chest to Swaziland, a small country in Southern Africa, with the highest HIV infection rate in the world (46% of the population is HIV positive). Swaziland is a small country of around 1 million people. However, the country has 130,000 orphans, most due to AIDS. Here are a few of their pictures.
