During this episode, we speak with Claire Harper - a Midwife in the United States who has served with Doctors without Borders in the Democratic Republic of Congo for 9 months. We learn about her beginnings and what drew her into the life of being a midwife. We talk about what distinguishes midwifes from RNs, how she decided that this was the time in her life to become a missioner and care for those in the most vulnerable of communities in the world. We dive into details like how Doctors without Borders chooses their candidates and the how the placement process works. We even talk about some controversial topics like the ultimate reasons on why people go on mission trips and how some intentions are not always the most pure. This was such a fun conversation with deep learnings and I am so excited for you to hear it.
