Caroline

As we prepare for our trip, our minds run back to memories of those we work with each year. This photo is of Caroline.

This is a rare moment from a women whose eyes most often radiate a smile, but smiles mean joy, and in her world, the world of a Zambian nurse, joy is not always appropriate. But competence, confidence, compassion, and care are there to step in where joy fails, and they are all apparent in this beautiful face.
