  4. Mozambique has good caiparinhas and vibrant Indian Ocean pinks and oranges, palms, sandalwood breeze. And old blown out buildings.
  5. A few observations re Mozambique: 1) Vodacom & Mcel ads plaster the country; 2) Be careful what u take photos of bc many guards w rifles

  15. The Peace Corps volunteer says the main way the epidemic is obvious to her is that more & more children now live at her family's homestead.
  16. My time here is too short -just glimpses, shadows, flashes of light. Statistics,unbelievable. Children laugh at school. And head households.
  17. As AIDS educators in the U.S. know, there is a difference between knowledge and behavior. So many complicated factors.
  18. Peace Corps volunteer said HIV education is not the main issue; that people she works with know the facts.
  19. Traditionally, when a woman's husband dies, the husband's brother takes her as a wife.
