I picked up this book from the library today, Hope in Hell by Dan Bortolotti. The book offers an insiders look into the world of doctors without borders, a organization I admire strongly and may one day be a part of. I wanted to share a potion of the back cover of the book."Doctors Without Borders sends more than 3,000 volunteers annually to conflict zones, refugee camps and anywhere else in the world where medical care is desperately needed.
Volunteers often work in poor and dangerous places. Some are traumatized, kidnapped, even murdered. many watch their idealism become disillusionment, their friends become strangers. Others feed on the adventure, fall in love, or find the family they never had."
Yikes! This is definitely not an undertaking for the faint of heart. I can't wait to dive into this one and get a better idea of my aspirations for the future. Expect updates and reflection in the coming weeks.
