Since then, we have not been able to find a doctor who is capable of [...]

Jun Xu, MD, Chairman of Africa Cries Out, August 5, 2019 In 2013, a group of volunteers—I among them—went to Senegal and Guinea-Bissau in West Africa. We witnessed the dust streets, the faces devoid of expression, the villages devastated by drought, and the patients short of medical care. Since then, the brown land of West Africa has been our spiritual home, and the memories of hungry children surrounding our cars have been branded on our hearts with a burning-hot flame of passion. After returning to the United States, we immediately applied for the “Africa Cries Out” non-profit 501 (C) 3 organization, [...]
