There is so much to learn from each other and the wonderful thing is you are taking action on what you learned about another woman's needs. There is a very very good book by Dr Paul Farmer: Pathologies of Power. He also wrote "Mountains Beyond Mountains." He is a doctor and anthropologist who spent a lot of time working in Haiti and other very poor indigenous areas. He stresses how human rights impacts diseases and most of all, how it is the very poor who suffer and die from treatable diseases in Haiti, etc. I think you would find his writing poetically stark and right to the heart of how power in a few renders significant suffering in the destitute.
