Nata is a village of 5,000 people in Botswana. Botswana has the second highest HIV infection rate in Africa. The Nata Village blog was designed and is administered by photographer/vidographer, John Rawlingson , and written by Peace Corps volunteer, Melody Jenkins, and Martha Ramaditse, who was born and raised in Nata.
We are also in discussions in Peru, in Burkina Faso, and in Botswana as well. CH: Our headquarters office here in Oakland is staffed entirely by volunteers, and I always like people to know that of all of the foundation dollars, and donations and grant money that comes in, I divert 94% of it to our in-country operations.
This process emerged based on working for four years in a more traditional development organization sense, in which we were bringing in international volunteers. The first opportunity that I had to go back was to work in a refugee camp in Botswana. Then we would design the projects and implement them top down. Completely random.
