Newsletter 89 first addresses some recent adversities and challenges faced by families in central Sinaloa, Mexico—along with collective action taken by local communities to endure. Then it relates news about the programs we’re involved with in Mexico, and tells the inspiring story of how a disabled boy we helped as youngster, now middle aged, is warmly returning the favor, as a care provider for me. Finally, there's a pre-announcement of a new art book featuring David Werner's drawings and paintings over eight decades.

Where There Is No Doctor (1977)

Learn more about David Werner's bestselling community healthcare manual Where There Is No Doctor, based on his experiences in Mexico's Sierra Madre. It has been described by the World Health Organization as 'arguably the most wide-used public health manual in the world.' (click here)
