Angela and the Fistula Girls

As some of you already know, part of our time in Angola was spent in Lubango at CEML, the Christian hospital run by Dr. Steve Foster. We were fortunate to live and work with Kevin and Angela Deane, who by some strange strike of fate are also from Calgary, and are close friends with our pastor, Scott Cripps. I'd never met Angela, but after getting to know her, I think that there is nobody I look up to more as a nurse. Her heart is huge, and her work with the fistula patients inspired me. I would write about the fistula patients myself, but they're really her stories to tell - she worked with them for months before we got there. Here is the link to her and Kevin's blog about their time in Angola. Her stories echo my own heart for these hurt girls.
