community health nurse who volunteered with CUSO International. Nancy transports us
to rural Sierra Leone, West Africa in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Meet village chiefs and
traditional midwives. Encounter tenacious cultural clashes and their resolution.
Experience how community health nursing work rattled Nancy’s preconceptions,
provoked her notions of social privilege, and deepened her global connections. Follow
Nancy’s journey as her good intentions morph into ally-ships.
