Waar gaat het boek over?
A development worker and his wife are being sent to Angola (1998 – 2001) during a period of peace, but soon the civil war starts up again and accordingly work has to be carried out under sometimes dangerous conditions. Gerda tells of her work with the women’s groups of the Diocese and her daily activities at home. Pieter writes about his work with Caritas Sumbe and his efforts to get the hospital Boa Entrada repaired. In 2005 the authors visit Angola for the first time after the war; and they see the results of their efforts.
