St. Rodrigue in the news

Hello everyone, I was just informed that the BBC is doing a feature on the area around where I used to teach here in Lesotho, St. Rodrigue. The link is below, but it is a long-term project of theirs to chart how HIV/AIDS is affecting people in the rural communities. It could be a very interesting project, so please check it out at least once. I don't know how often they will be updating it, but you might want to check back in a month or two as well (I will try to keep up with it as well).

Take care!

ps for those who know St. Rodrigue, I don't know exactly what they have shown on the Google Map at the bottom of the article, but it is not the main mission. It might be one of the clinic outstations (Ha Shoaepane, perhaps?)

I am so excited about this. I've pretty much sent it to everyone I know. Also, I had no idea St. Rodrigue is viewable on Google maps now-- I just zoomed in on the satellite view and traced the road until I found the Grinnell Corps house. The world seems disorientingly small, somehow. Best of luck with your research year!

I have a web site where I give advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks. If theirs anyone interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking Penny stocks. I would like to comment about the future of the stock market theirs always bargains in the stock market you just have to be willing to take the time to find them. Speaking of stocks under one dollar that worked out for me. I recently sold my shares in vonage holdings corporation for 5 dollars. I bought the shares in 2009 for 37 cents. This was a rare exception to the general rule most of the stocks trading under 1 dollar are not good investments. The way that you find low priced stocks that are worthy investments is to have as much knowledge and experience as possible about these type of securities. Only than can you profit tremendously from these stocks.
