It's the tennis champion's first official visit to South Africa and boy, did her fans celebrate!

Serena Williams visited Johannesburg yesterday, where she was ogled by hundreds of fans who excitedly awaited a prized signature from the star.

Work in Africa
Serena is in Africa the entire week doing charity work as a Global Ambassador for Hewlett Packard.

"I'm going to be in Africa for a little over a week. Let us all appreciate each day we have, and love each day," said Serena on her website.

Serena blogs from Africa
In her blog, she also mentions one of Hewlett Packard's initiatives: "We are working with the Starfishgreatheart Charity. (Yes it is one word) This charity helps give aid, care, and housing to kids with AIDS.

"These kids are mostly born with AIDS and they don't have the care that they need or can live with. The kids I met today were orphans. It was so sad to see them in this situation."

Serena went on to say how much fun she had and what an eye-opener it's been.

"I saw a girl that was sooo pretty. I kept thinking she is too pretty and her personality too big to have AIDS. It was sad to see. You realize that AIDS has no discrimination and no barriers. It pained me to see such wonderful kids with sadness in their hearts, but hope and love in their eyes."

Thank you Serena! It's fab that you care.
