by Andy Buhler
From life in a hospital lab of the ancient, mud-walled city of Kano, to adventures re-establishing a lab in the war-gutted hospital of Ogwashi-Uku, these memoirs capture it all. Share my life as a CUSO volunteer in Nigeria (1969-1971) during, and just after, the Biafran crisis. Experience the trials of a young, idealistic, medical laboratory technologist who must come to terms with himself, his situations, and with cultures so different from his homeland. There are friendships and frustrations, humour and hi-jinks, poverty and poetry.
