Retired Dutch school teacher doing good in Ghana despite inevitable "white doctor" reputation.

WhatTookYouSoLong
Eric Coomans, a retired Dutch school teacher who 3 years ago founded Child Support, a grassroots NGO providing support to children in need. Working with orphaned, malnourished and abused children, Child Support works with the local hospital, schools and health centres in providing the attention and support these children need, with the aim of nursing children back to health and reintegrating them back in to their families and communities.

Doctors, midwives, and medically skilled, he needs you!

    • He's doing a good job there.
      The title of this posting is misleading though- he says that the negative side of his humanitarian work is that they say there's a "white doctor" in town that they can go to, and he says he's NOT a doctor, but he does need people with those skills, as well as midwives etc.
