When The Lights Go Out - Ruth

from Salt – Conversations · host Jenny Salt

In 1960 Ruth Myors left Australia to work as a midwife with the Somali people. For over two decades she served in a hospital in Somalia, a village in Ethiopia and a radio ministry in Kenya. Bureaucratic decisions, coups, communist takeovers, natural disasters, sudden deaths - all disrupted plans and brought about unexpected changes in her life. Ruth wrote about these experiences in her memoir When The Lights Go Out, and she shares them with Jenny Salt.
