I learned quite a bit on my first day at Gaborone. The day started early with a visit to the University of Botswana. The school was established in 1982, and is still expanding. You can check out the pictures of the school in the "Photos" page. Apparently, the imaging infrastructure of the university and others, including the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Gaborone, where I landed, was built by Chinese companies. This is causing some immigration issues in the country as China are bringing their own laborers taking away construction jobs for the Batswana leading to an increase in unemployment. The Batswana have, however, mixed feelings about the Chinese entering their country.
Furthermore, that Batswana children are taught early on about other countries in the world. They have a better understanding of globalization and geographic knowledge than youth in the U.S. We often times analyze the significant role of China or India in the globalized world, neglecting Africa completely while focusing only on its political instabilities, corruption and human rights. A professor at the University of Botswana considers Africa to be a "global village," but is somehow astonished by the fact that it's not well-represented in the Security Council. In fact, Africa is the hub for cash crops, making it the forefront of today's globalization.
Some Interesting Facts:
Botswana was the first African country to provide free anti-retrovirals for its citizens infected with HIV. This off course came after the generic form of the drugs were developed. Also, the U.S. NGO, Global Fund, was the the top contributor of funds to fight tuberculosis in the country. But last year, they pulled away leaving the patients, with ongoing treatment, without further medications. As expected, this lead to mutations that were incurable. Since Botswana is stable now, shouldn't NGOs like Global Fund pull out? Well, a reporter from the Guardian thinks otherwise.
