Mission On A Mountain
On a recent trip to Nepal, Leah, a nurse in Buffalo, reflected on her time at our clinic there.

Update From Goma: Hope Is Your Superpower
This is how it always seems to go: invasion, subjugation, domination, and finally, exploitation of natural resources. What is happening in the Eastern part of Congo is not different.

Goma

Goma has its own music, percussive and metallic, variably rhythmic and ametric, and punctuated by human voices talking, calling out, chanting to make the work go faster, calling people to prayer, their […]
May I Never Experience All That One Can Get Used To
Below, please find part-one of Dr. Harding’s reflections on her recent trip to our Wellness Clinic in Goma. Of Goma, I can say first that I am sad to leave it, and our friends here. And that it brings to life a Russian saying, “May I never experience all that one can get used to.” […]
