Everyone,
After a rebel attack on Chad's capital, N'Djaména forced us to reroute our return through Cameroon we arrived in Yaounde, took an 18-hour train trip up to Ngaounderé followed by a 9-hour bus ride to Maroua and a 2-hour pickup truck ride up to the Koza Adventist Hospital where we spent a week working with Drs. Greg & Audrey Shank before going back to Maroua and taking a 3-hour bus ride to Yagoua, a 20-minute motorcycle ride to the border, a 5-minute canoe ride across the river and a 3-hour ride in our truck back to Béré where the rains have already started, the desert is starting to turn green again and our staff has heroically been holding down the fort amidst strikes and local hospital closures forcing our uneducated nurse/surgeon, Samedi, to perform almost 80 surgeries during our absence (no doctor at the hospital for over 2 months) saving countless lives with 100% post-op recovery. If that doesn't convince anyone there is a God, than nothing will!
More stories soon I'm sure!
James
