National Office

After we landed we went to the World Vision National Office. It was located
in a really nice leased building a really close to the Nazarene
Compassionate Ministries National Headquarters. We ate lunch here which was
grilled chicken, croissants, pizza and sausage stuffed rolls. I washed mine
down with Tab - remember Tab? We met with the National Director and his
staff and leaned about our work here. Swaziland has one of the highest
rates of HIV infection in the world. In a land of one million people,
almost 10 percent of the population are orphans. We heard about World
Vision's plan to make a difference in a full one third of the population
which is pretty ambitious. Over the next few days we will visit projects to
see how they are going about accomplishing this.
