Their mission is simple - to bring life-saving care to the world's neediest people and to speak out when the rights of the people in their care are abused or violated. \u003cp\u003eMédecins Sans Frontières, known in English as Doctors Without Borders and by its volunteers as MSF, is the worlds largest independent medical humanitarian relief organization. Every year, more than 3,000 MSF volunteers and 12,000 local men and women bring medical aid to people in more than 70 countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHealing Our World\u003c\/i\u003e, David Morley presents his own story and the stories of other MSFers who have volunteered in some of the most dangerous and forgotten corners of the world - the Congo, El Salvador, Chechnya, Bangladesh, Mozambique, Afghanistan, southern Africa.

But my work has never felt depressing. Doctors Without Borders is an organization built to act, to make things better. Together with other volunteers and the support of millions of people around the world, we dont have to sit by helplessly and see a disaster unfold before us, wondering what on earth we can do. The gift of action is ours.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Morley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550415654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550415650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzhenry \u0026amp; Whiteside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 7.80w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e123128 \/ Healing Our World: Inside Doctors Without Borders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2007 pg. 80 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2007 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 416 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw","brand":"David Morley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799205294335,"sku":"9781550415650","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/healing-our-world-david-morley-9781550415650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
