Alris - now fully qualified as a doctor.

One of the most touching moments of the trip was the meeting between Ruth McArthur and Alris. Ruth has spent many years supporting Alris through secondary school and then university, as he pursued his ambition to be a doctor. They had never met. Awaiting his final results he made the journey from his work in 91 Mile to Freetown to see her and arrived just as the groups were starting to present their plans. I felt heaven was coming to earth.

Alris and Ruth

Ruth received an e-mail from him today, 25 March, to say he had passed all his exams. and is now fully qualified.
