For 25 years, International Medical Corps has been training doctors and providing medical care in some of the world’s most troubled places. From Angola and Bosnia, to Afghanistan and Somalia, International Medical Corps staff have been working with locals to mitigate the effects of things like war, natural disaster, and malnutrition. Along the way, the group has collected photos from the field. Now, those photos have been published in a new book called A Thousand Words. International Medical Corps President and CEO Nancy Aossey recently sat down with The World to talk about some of her favorite photos from the book.

    Many thanks for this segment. It is with great pride that we in the Greater Portland area are home to a number of organizations that work for a social and nature concerns. There are other noble groups here. One of the major ones in downtown Portland is Mercy Corps. On the nature issues this area is also home to an growing and successful breeding program of the California condor.
