In Through the Lens of Humanity, we are invited to accompany Mark Anderson on his humanitarian and spiritual journeys into a world of unfamiliar countries and cultures, where the marvels of beauty and shared community often clash with unspeakable tragedies of poverty, war and intolerance. Drawn from Anderson's own experiences, we are privy to conversations with some of the most notable humanitarian icons of the 20th and 21st centuries-Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and through the remembrances of Dr. Margrietha van der Kreek, Dr. Albert Schweitzer of Lambar...
In Through the Lens of Humanity, we are invited to accompany Mark Anderson on his humanitarian and spiritual journeys into a world of unfamiliar countries and cultures, where the marvels of beauty and shared community often clash with unspeakable tragedies of poverty, war and intolerance. Drawn from Anderson's own experiences, we are privy to conversations with some of the most notable humanitarian icons of the 20th and 21st centuries-Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and through the remembrances of Dr. Margrietha van der Kreek, Dr. Albert Schweitzer of Lambarene, Gabon, Central Africa. Anderson's personal reflections are compelling and powerful as he describes medical mission journeys to desolate Africa to deliver an ambulance to a remote mission hospital and lead a youth mission trip to a distant and isolated African village in Zambia. And his accounts of visits to war-torn Sarajevo and Kabul, Afghanistan to deliver much-needed medical supplies and to help provide medical education and training to Afghanistan's medical professionals to combat the world's highest maternal and infant death rates are searing examples of the immensity of human challenge in many parts of the world. Through the Lens of Humanity pays tribute to the spirit of adventure and offers tales of the radiance of the human spirit within all of us as it also reminds us of how much work still needs to be done if ours is to be a more decent and humane world.
