FYI there is a Medicins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders)
information session being held at SAIS (Johns Hopkins School for
Advanced International Studies), which is right next to Dupont Circle,
on Saturday, April 26th from 11am to 1pm.
One of the speakers is Laura Cobey, a nurse who also happens to be the
daughter of Dr. James Cobey, co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in
1997 which was awarded for his effort to document the devastating
impact of landmine injuries in Cambodia.

Every day, Doctors Without Borders field staff from around the world

interest.
