“When an immigrant speaks of feeling uncomfortable just know, you are in the presence of man who knows what the sting of assimilation is.”
Hannah V. Sawyerr, For Girls Growing into Their Hips

Hank Bracker
“In spite of being a relatively poor country, Cuba is one of the most committed in deploying doctors to crisis zones. It sent more than 460 Cuban doctors and nurses to West Africa. In October, Germany sent medical supplies, and later that month a hundred additional U.S. troops arrived in Liberia, bringing the total to 565 to assist in the fight against the deadly disease. To understand the severity of the disease, a supply order was placed on October 15th for a 6-month supply of 80,000 body bags and 1 million protective suits. At that time it was reported that 223 health care workers had been infected with Ebola, and 103 of them had died in Liberia.”
Captain Hank Bracker, The History of Liberia & West Africa
