Relief Work in Tanzania, an audio postcard in three parts
(KJZZ Phoenix, March 2007)
This first section is a sound-intensive and engaging record of my travels from Phoenix to Tanzania, and on my first impressions of life among the Maasai.
In Part 2, I fly with my sister into the remote Maasai villages of North Tanzania to perform health outreach clinics. We help weigh babies, vaccinate infants and mothers, and attend to sick people, while learning about the Maasai culture and the health problems that they face.

An emergency evacuation flight from the Serengeti to Nairobi, Kenya, both surprises and edifies us on the nature of health care in East Africa, as well as on the value of the service that is provided by Flying Medical Service.

Tanzania’s conservation vs development battle — Can wildebeests and trucks coexist? That’s the question at the heart of today’s Geoquiz. The wildebeest is an odd-looking antelope that lives in East Africa. Hundreds of thousands of them migrate every year through a protected area in northern Tanzania.Now the Tanzanian government wants to build a road through the region. Opponents say it would disrupt the wildebeest migration and threaten the entire ecosystem.
So, what’s the national park that’s home to all these wildebeests?
