The continent of Africa with her many countries and diverse cultures and people has a legacy of hardship -- authoritarian leadership, economic corruption, poor physical infrastructure, lack of healthcare systems to address the scourge of HIV and malaria -- and a great need for new education programs that dramatically improve the quality of life throughout.
