President Clinton is back from his trip to Africa. From his blog:

The Clinton Hunter Development Initiative is working with local authorities [in Neno, southern Malawi] on several projects to strengthen the community’s health care system.

We toured a construction site for a new district hospital and adjacent staff housing we’re helping to build in partnership with Partners In Health.

The hospital complex looked like a normal construction site: noisy, covered in machinery and teeming with hard hats. But there is more being built than just a hospital - this project alone has created hundreds of jobs and trained local women in construction work, contributing to a foundation of sustainable growth in the community.

While in Neno, we met up with Dr. Paul Farmer, one of the founders of Partners in Health. Much has been written about Paul, his intensity and his inspiring dedication to health care for the world’s poorest. While all of that is true, he also happens to be one of the warmest and funniest people I have ever met, qualities he shares with President Clinton that often get lost on the printed page.

You can help make a difference in the lives of people across Africa by supporting the work of the Clinton Foundation.
