For the past fifteen years, I have been a professor in the Department of Human Environmentla Studies at Central Michigan University (CMU). My areas of specialization is Human development, Indigenous Education, and HIV and AIDS in the rural areas of South Africa. I chose SA because I am originally from the rural areas of the Eastern Cape Province. During the Summer (June-July, 2004), a colleague and I with five CMU students visited four communities in the Eastern Cape. We worked with the Departments of Education and Social Development of the Eastern Cape Province and four Community Based Organization (CBOs) to assess the condition of AIDS orphans, and other at-risk children. In 2005 I founded Eziko Sipheka Sisophula: Multiple Skills Development Center to address the psychological, emotional, education, health, spiritual and legal needs of AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children.
