While accompanying her husband (an Infectious Disease physician) to Africa, Myrna has spent significant time over the past 30 years getting to know the faces and hearts of the people who have been directly affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic. Whether taking the bus with orphans to their doctors’ appointments, counseling teens about re-entering school, helping women to better their tailoring skills, learning how to build schools or making sure money is allocated appropriately to designated projects; Myrna keeps busy on her trips to Africa.
