Inhaltsangabe
In 1971, Ruth and Harold Jacobson a registered nurse and a maintenance mechanic in their 50s joined the Peace Corps and went to Liberia. During their three years as volunteers and three more years as staff at a mission hospital, Ruth chronicled their experiences in weekly letters to her mother and family. From the mundane to hair-raising, she described the details of their life and work, the events of the times, the everyday life in the villages where they lived, and people's customs. While living in Liberia, they also traveled in Cameroon, Nigeria, Sierra Leon, and Ghana, using buses and taxis. This compilation of Ruth's letters offers a portrait of the Liberian people in pre-war (and pre-cell phone) Liberia. In the end, the letters also paint a portrait of Ruth herself, and reveal a strength of character and approach to life instructive to anyone who is thinking about or planning to work in a developing country.
