We realize that a lot of people are concerned about the Ebola outbreak in Africa. But as this article puts it: Africa shouldnt provoke an instantaneous association with Ebola, because Africa is not a country -- its the worlds second largest continent, home to 15 percent of the planets population, and a hell of a lot more than disease. In fact, we like the way she puts into context how far things are: Liberia and Sierra Leone, arguably the epicenters of the Ebola outbreak, lie some 5,400 miles from Johannesburg, South Africa by car. A road trip to Baguio from Manila is just a little over 250 kilometers. Well let you do the math, and we hope that the number of zeros will continue to assure you that our volunteers are safe (and absolutely enjoying their international volunteering stint) in Africa.
