“They told me I was fine and free to go” said John, grimacing as he spoke, his face, covered in scars and stitches, his left eye distorted in shape, weeping continuously, his right ear, missing. The Bridge2Aid training team met John in Tarime during the programme being carried out at Sirari health centre, close […]
Last week I took the day to visit one of the Dental Volunteer Programme Training teams working with us for 2 weeks. It’s something I find rewarding, exhausting and heartbreaking, even after 10 years. And this day was no exception. It was however fantastic to have our God-Daughter Grace with me. Grace is living with […]
