Introduction to Service Projects

Day 4: We toured each of the service projects that we would be working at for the rest of the week. Above is the garden at Etafeni Community Center where I was to work, in Nyanga township. Etafeni has a daycare center for children of HIV-infected parents and an income generaton project and support group for the adults. The garden provides food for the daycare center as well as the adults at the program. Healthy food is important for the health of HIV-positive people, and organic vegetables provide the best and safest nutrition.
