Sawubona!! My name is Sam Corbo. In June and July of 2011 I spent a month in Manzini, Swaziland with 5 fellow students from the Boonshoft School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio. We spent most of our time working at Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital and venturing out to rural clinics with the Luke Commission, based in Manzini but reaching the far corners of the country. In addition, we ventured down different roads in Swaziland and nearby South Africa on our own. I kept a journal of our experiences for family and friends to follow and to help myself look back on the experience now that I've returned to the US. Read up on our adventures, from massive rural clinics to cheetah kills, the hospital wards of the country hit hardest by HIV to kayak encounters with hippos and crocodiles!
