Last night we flew back to Maputo and checked into our trusty Holiday Inn. This morning started with a debrief back at the UNICEF office. Everyone was very pleased with the trip out into the field. They listened to our thoughts and offered some insight of their own. The meeting truly rounded out the week to bring everything back into a positive light. There are 130 people working in the Mozambican UNICEF office and only about 20 are from other countries. This shows the dedication of the people in the country to take care of their children. There is hope, there is progress, and UNICEF just asks of us to continue to spread the word. Talk about this program with your clients, friends, and colleagues. The more people who are aware, the more who get involved, and the closer the organization comes to its goals for the improvement of these children's lives. HIV/AIDS infection in children is virtually eradicated in the developed world, there is no reason, in this age of globablization, that the same can't be true for the rest of the world.
