DC movie night

Last night I met Amber in DC to catch the E Street Cinema's presentation of "Living in Emergency - Stories of Doctors Without Borders."  The film powerfully portrays not only the dire need for increased medical services throughout the third world, but the physical, psychological and personal strain this kind of work inflicts on these volunteers. 

As much as I know that this kind of work will certainly be a part of my daughter's practice, I was heartened to hear her describe her own reactions to the film.  She surprises me daily with her wisdom, self-assurance and focused approach to her life and career.
