title: Called to care in Somalia.
abstract: Our 1942 DC-3 struggled against head winds as it approached Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. The two-and-a-half-hour trip had stretched to four-and-a-half hours and we were getting anxious to reach our destination and embark on our mission. As a volunteer team of Canadian and American health care professionals, our mission was to deliver health care to Somalians dying of disease and malnutrition.
