For years, Angalia Bianca had slept in abandoned buildings throughout Chicago. She stole. She did drugs.

What is it like taking a large team to Africa? It has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana.

The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011.
