• Description:
  Grateful for medical heroes like Cokie van der Velde. So so brave. "a British sanitation specialist for Doctors Without Borders in Guekedou, Guinea. Normally, she spends her days in Yorkshire, tending to her garden and looking after her grandchildren. Van der Velde has worked on two previous Ebola outbreaks...says she does this kind of work because she believes in justice and equality. She said the need is overwhelming in this outbreak because of the heavy toll Ebola has taken on health workers; many of those sickened and killed have been doctors and nurses." http://news.yahoo.com/ebola-health-workers-battle-death-heat-rumors-065519140.html
