Mountains Beyond Mountains

New address:

B.P. 567
Ngaoundere, Cameroon

Things should get here faster than going through Yaounde.

I'm currently reading Mountains Beyond Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. Its the story of Paul Farmer and his work in Haiti with TB, among other things. Its excellent. Because I'm here attempting to work in the health field, I find it really inspirational and appropriate. I reccomend it to everyone.

Books by Paul Farmer that I'd like to read:

AIDS and Accusations
The Uses of Haiti
Infections and Inequalities

Hey Jess and Brian,
I have also read Tracy Kidder's book and heard him speak about Paul Farmer at Canisius College a couple of years ago. I can imagine that you are sharing many of his experiences...
Hope you are both well.
Lots of love...Happy 2009.

Paul Farmer was profiled on 60 minutes not long ago. You may be able to check it out on YouTube???

Hope you are both well.


Cincinnati has become the most cosmopolitan metropolis since you left, who woulda thought it?
