Living convictions - Dr Ione in the Central African Republic (Part II)

In 1968, Dr Ione, then a young medical student from Italy, came to the newly independent Central African Republic to help run a hospital in the north. Since then, she has spent thirty-four years in the country, living through rebellions, mutinies, intermittent progress, and desperation. She has shared the hope of the population and supported their initiatives. Today, she is still on their side, helping them to stand up again.
In the second part, Dr Ione recounts the achievements of the population in the region of Ngaounday at the border with Chad and Cameroon. She reflects upon the quick establishment of social services and on the farmers' initiatives to improve their living conditions.
