On a baking hot day this past October when Amy Lehman set out on eastern Africa's Lake Tanganyika, the frustrations started early. She was in the region to deliver 15,000 mosquito bed nets to several Congolese villages along the lake's mountainous shores. Here malaria is rampant and the population's isolation and poverty is nearly complete.
But she remained unfazed because as she put it, she "loves going and doing the hardest thing." And in starting her nonprofit, the Lake Tanganyika Floating Health Clinic, three years ago, Lehman, 37, may have found just that.
A very interesting story of one woman's efforts to help.
