Description: Bosnia. Rwanda. Kosovo. Sierra Leone. Pakistan. Just a few of the world`s humanitarian and political crises in the past years. Whether the result of war or nature, disasters devastate populations and cripple health systems. Despite the immense dangers and difficulties of the work, one organization, Doctors Without Borders, has continuously intervened at the frontlines of overwhelming human need. Four volunteer doctors are followed as they provide emergency medical care under extreme conditions in war-torn Congo and Liberia. Participants are welcome to bring their lunch. Registration is encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome.
