  • "Too far gone...besides, she's a girl..." was the assessment of the triage orderly of the little bush hospital. When nurses with Hanna Project found this young teenaged girl--her arm completely rotted through at the elbow from infection--she was very close to death. With massive doses of antibiotics, oral iron supplements (she was so anemic that her HCT did not even register in the lab, and there are no facilities for blood transfusion in the north of Cote d'Ivoire) and an amputation, within two weeks, she walked out of the hospital on her own.

  • Returning to the small bush hospital in Doropo, this woman comes every time that NGO volunteers have come through for the last three years. Each time, she finds me and shows not only her son but also the scar that marks where her breast was incised.

  • Every year since 2008, this mother returns when the doctors and nurses of Hanna Project come to her region. Days walk, she contentedly makes the trek for a five minute conversation with me--she always identifies herself by showing her scar. You see, in 2008, momma almost died from septicemia due to the worst Mastitis I've ever seen; and her newborn was hours away from death. Both were treated and both survived. She comes back each year to say, "Fahina foree." Thank you. I don't even know her name.
