It is a rare tale of friendship that reaches beyond borders to vividly and irrevocably unite another woman's world with our own. Monique and the Mango Rains is the true story of the life and death of a remarkable West African midwife, seen through the eyes of a young Peace Corps volunteer, who worked side by side with her, birthing babies and caring for mothers in a remote impoverished village. I'd like to introduce our speaker today, Kris Holloway, who is the author of Monique and the Mango Rains- Two Years with a Midwife in Mali. This colloquium is also sponsored by the Cornell Global Public Health Program, Cornell Health International, and the Cornell Student Society for Public Health. SPEAKER: Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for coming to the 2009 Colloquium Series for the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs. ![]() ANNOUNCER: This is a production of Cornell University. ![]()
