FW: Photos from Tanzania

A few photos from my week in Tanzania. I was there because of the Agriculture work the foundation does.

Traveling with Kofi Annan was neat. He is just so truly humble. The older man sitting under the tree said to him... "I know who you are!" he then said "You are an old man like me!" Kofi loved it.

The farmers are Joyce and Elijah. They were raising their own 3 kids and 4 kids of his brother's because the brother died of AIDS. Because of improved seeds, they are growing enough food to sell some of it on the market, despite the drought and are putting the kids all through school. Elijah and I are pulling up cassava (a staple crop in Africa) from the ground. He is actually doing all the work.

Melinda

Go ahead and forward this to Jeffrey.

He and I talked quite a bit last night including explaining that Melinda had just been in Africa with Kofi.

She really liked Kofi a lot.

For you
