"Mama Doctor"

Goodbye Dr. Laura

After two and half years in Impfondo, Congo Dr. Laura is heading home... She has done amazing work here and will be greatly missed by all the people. I've been living with her since I got here April 12th, so I've gotten to know her and I'm going to miss her a lot too! She has a way of seeing patients, making rounds and doing thorough care and instruction like no one else. I've learned a lot from her and have enjoyed getting to see her in action: following her on rounds, watching her performing various surgeries, teaching the staff and interacting with the local people here in Impfondo. She has a great sense of humor, is an excellent cook and seamstress, and loves to grow flowers...Below I posted some pictures. We love you, Laura!
