	  Welcome to "Follow the President." 
  This
				  section was built to help young Americans follow my journey through Africa. By
				  providing information about the geography and cultures we will encounter during
				  the trip, these pages will introduce many young Americans to a vital, new
				  Africa -- an Africa full of political and economic promise, an Africa
				  partnering with America to build a better future for all our children.
  I
				  invite you to explore this site and take advantage of its different parts:
				  learn about a country; read a speech from the trip; see Africa through the lens
				  of our digital camera; read about the issues we are partnering with Africa to
				  solve; and tackle some of the activities "Follow the President"
				  presents.
  I hope you have an adventurous and educational experience as
				  you follow me on this historic trip.   Sincerely,  
				       |
