GLOBAL STRATEGIES PRESIDENT HIGHLIGHTED IN UPCOMING BOOK
As you may know, Global Strategies President Dr. Joshua Bress lived in the eastern Congo working on our projects. He has spent more time in this region than almost any other American pediatrician. Now work from his time in the Congo is being documented in an upcoming book by author Josh Ruxin that will be out in November. "Josh Ruxin has been a good friend to Global Strategies," says Global Strategies Founder Dr. Arthur Ammann,"and his memoir documenting his experiences in Rwanda promises to be thought-provoking. Some of the challenges we faced together required more than one Josh."
