January 2013

We returned to Ethiopia, the beginning of January in time to greet Dr. Glen Barden from Lakeland. Glen is a wonderful hand surgeon retired, and this is his third trip to MCM hospital. He spent a month with us and endeared himself to everyone. He is a talented hand surgeon and a humble servant. He attempted to get the names of everybody he encountered and attempted to pronounce them, which is a challenge. Between the Ethiopians and Koreans he was a busy boy. His care and concern for each person, whether a VIP or the housekeeping staff, made no difference and was noticed by all. What a powerful statement of values. He was here for Timkat and we observed the celebration on Bole.

Dr. Nadim Nimeh and his wife Sue came for a month to teach at the medical school. They have lived in Oklahoma for many years and are moving to Dallas. He is a hematological oncologist and contributed greatly to the new med school class.
