Between Earth and Sky

With introduction by Dr. Thomas Burke, Harvard Committee for African Studies and Director of Massachusetts General Hospital’s Division of Global Health and Human Rights.  Dr. Burke’s efforts through his Division have been principally focused on women and children’s health and human rights.

On July 9th, 2011 South Sudan became the 193rd nation in the world. This sub-Saharan nation is the size of France without a single paved highway. With the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, the country has less than 50 licensed doctors for its 10 million people. 400 medical students are struggling to become the first generation of South Sudanese doctors. This is their story.

 

All proceeds donated to the medical students of South Sudan. Admission is $10.
