From Texas To Tanzania

 

This morning I’m with the Ingrams’ magazine photographer, snapping shots for INMED’s reception of their magazine’s Heros In Healthcare Award. Through all this consideration of background, lighting, and whether my tie is straight, I’m thinking of all the unrecognized heros whose entire life and lifestyle is a testament to the power of faith and compassion. One of these is Dr Bob, a physician until recently living in east Texas. Bob and I were resident physicians together at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. Two years ago, Bob and his wife cut loose from the United States to live in Tanzania, where they established Kitua Zahanati Clinic on Bumbire Island in the midst of Lake Victoria – providing the only medical care for the 5,000 residents of that isolated locale. Bob, this prize is for you and your like-hearted teammates!
