This is the shell of what will become a new hospital in rural Chad, Africa. Composed of earthen materials (sand, gravel and a small amount of cement), it is designed to keep cool is Sub-Sarahan temperatures. The Muslim families who invited the American doctor to set up a hospital in their village look on. I asked this sweet Papa if he would like to climb too. All the lines around his eyes and mouth smiled up toward his turban. Precious travel moments!
