Obviously this is on our blog rather than the WMF blog, but I think it's a
pretty cool story: one of our student editors wrote the ENWP article about
HIV/AIDS in Malawi for class last term, and then spent this summer working
in a HIV/AIDS clinic in Malawi, where she used what she learned in
researching the article. I think this might be interesting to the general
@Wikipedia audience!
