Six Months in Sudan by Maskalyk, James
ISBN: 9781863256889 PUBLISHER: Bantam FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 354 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.05.2009 DIMENSIONS: 23 x 15 x 2 centimetres
DESCRIPTION: James Maskalyk set out for the contested border town of Abyei, Sudan, in 2007 as Medecins Sans Frontieres' (Doctors Without Borders/MSF) newest medical doctor in the field. Equipped with his experience as an emergency physician in a downtown hospital and his desire to understand the hardest parts of the world, Maskalyk's days were spent treating malnourished children, fending off a measles epidemic, and staying out of the soldiers' way. Worn raw in the struggle to meet overwhelming needs with inadequate resources, he returned home six months later more affected by the experience, the people, and the place than he had anticipated. Six Months in Sudan began as a blog that he wrote from his hut in Sudan in an attempt to bring his family and friends closer to his hot, hot days. It is a story about humans: the people of Abyei who suffer its hardship because it is their home, and the doctors, nurses, and countless volunteers who leave their homes with the tools to make another's easier to endure. With great hope and insight, Maskalyk illuminates a distant place - its heat, its people, its poverty, its war - to inspire possibilities for action.
