T.I.G.F.

No that's not a typo in the headline. It's the acronym for the Thembani International Guarantee Fund, which "offers a vehicle to invest in South Africa's democratic development."

So what does Thembani have to do with volleyball and Wisconsin? It's where one would find former Badger volleyball star Erin Byrd (1999-2002) these days as she completes her Master's degree internship in Pretoria, South Africa. Interesting stuff.
