Funding for the Canadian Journal of Urology to go to Africa

In a followup to a post on AORTIC, the African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer, I have received a letter in which a major Canadian medical journal has been asked to attend the conference and issue a special supplement covering the conference and the papers presented.

I've argued that this sort of aid to Africa, focusing on helping Africa become an integral part of the modern world, has more potential to solve Africa's social problems than the cycle of lending African countries money, watching the money frittered away but corrupt officials, and then forgiving the loans in order to start the cycle again.
