Mountains Beyond Mountains
by Tracy Kidder
This book is very interesting. Paul Farmer works to fight the prevalence of infectious diseases such as tuberculous, HIV, and malaria in poor countries(mostly Haiti in this book). It shows how a difference can actually be made. Problems of sickness and malnutrition in poor countries seem so overwhelming at times. Why should anyone be dying of TB when we have the medicine for it now?? It is easy to sit back & think there is nothing I can do, but this man did the opposite of that and changed thousands of lives. The book can get slow at some parts, but even reading just the first half is eye opening.
