About the event

A compelling story about bridging cultural divides, told by Nancy, a Canadian

community health nurse who volunteered with CUSO International. Nancy transports us

to rural Sierra Leone, West Africa in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Meet village chiefs and

traditional midwives. Encounter tenacious cultural clashes and their resolution.

Experience how community health nursing work rattled Nancy’s preconceptions,

provoked her notions of social privilege, and deepened her global connections. Follow

Nancy’s journey as her good intentions morph into ally-ships.
