Today (Friday Oct 10)  After a series of local TV reports that concentrated on  the Ebola outbreak; Dr. Chittick explained to the masses on TV news that he is taking every precaution during this extremely risky trip. Dr. Chittick mentioned people should be worried less about his health and focus more on the mission - African youth are dying from HIV/AIDS in West Africa, the Ebola outbreak adds insult to injury. Critics have questioned Dr. Chittick's travel plans to an area of the world. They voice this; that American youth are in need - why is he going there? TeenAIDS and Dr. Chittick focus all year round on the youth of America and the work is self-evident.

Currently, Dr. Chittick is awaiting his delayed flight at Norfolk International Airport.

This 2014 West Africa Trip is marking 88 countries visited to date by Dr. John Chittick.
