About this title

Review

"David Morley's "Healing Our World: Inside Doctors Without Borders" is as fine a way as any to give teenagers a sense of what's possible out there in the world of disease and poverty. . . this is a very practical book, one to kindle the interest not just of young activists, but of any teens leaning toward a career in health services."
-- "Toronto Star"

"Profoundly moving"
-- "The Globe and Mail"

"Morley fulfils his objective to let students know how the organization works, where it goes on missions, what it does there, and about the lives of the people the organization seeks to help. . . He does not gloss over the challenges but leaves the reader with a hopeful sense that individuals can get involved and help to make the world a better place."
Recommended.
-- "CM Magazine"

"In this admirable book about the aid agency Doctors Without Borders - called in Canada by its French name, Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF) - David Morley presents a clear, realistic picture of people working under extremely difficult circumstances to provide medical and other help where it is most desperately needed. . . "Healing Our World" is an inspiring book that could well change the lives of some readers."
-- "Quill & Quire"

"Teens with an active social conscience and an interest in humanitarian causes will be inspired when reading this book. The accounts of MSF volunteers who have worked in the field are particularly fascinating and heighten the interest of the book."

"This is an excellent, timely, and relevant account of the work of MA(c)decins Sans FrontiA]res/Doctors Without Borders by the executive director of MSF Canada from 1998 to 2005. . . The easy-to-read text is accompanied by black-and-white photos that show the humanity and the intense severity of the conditions described. This fascinating volume will introduce readers to a dedicated organization that gives people who live in forgotten places 'evidence that someone actually cares.'"
