| Book: Green Oranges on Lion Mountain by
Emily Joy
(Dr. Gail Haddock) |
Gail has written about her
experiences as a
VSO doctor at Serabu Hospital in Sierra Leone. It is a delightful
account of life as a volunteer, life as a single woman in the Third
World, life as a doctor in a remote hospital, and life in a country on
the verge of a brutal civil war. Gail doesn't sugarcoat the
realities of life in Salone in the early 90s, but she doesn't exclude
the lighter side of life there that many of us fondly
remember. Many parts of the book are just plain funny.
All proceeds go to support
medical projects in Sierra Leone. Price includes
shipping. To order, contact Peggy at info@fosalone.org. |
