As we sailed from Liberia after being there 4 times in the last 5 years (we were there for 2 of them) many thoughts went through my mind. Eddie, the 4 month old baby we left behind who had his whole face burned by a mosquito net fire, the wells dug in the villages so that now the women and children do not have to go so far, Joseph who had no nose whatsoever from an infection as a child, now at 56 years old, has a nose, the VVF woman who had been leaking urine for 45 years and is now dry, toddler Joseph who had been left to die on a pile of banana leaves and now is healthy and happy.
And so many more….Yes, we are privileged to be here.
Joseph and his new nose!
