MEDICAL DIRECTOR
ETHIOPIA

A unique, challenging opportunity for American licensed Physician 
available the summer of 2002 in African Rain Forest.  Two year position 
involves physician acting as Medical Director of a small hospital built and 
operated by an American organization.  For further information, please 
check website www.lalmba.org or email  [email protected]

PROJECT MANAGER 
ETHIOPIAN RAIN FOREST

This is a volunteer position, but has lots of benefits, not the least of 
which is living in an African rain forest. Position is available in February, 
2002, for two years. No medical knowledge or experience is required 
nor language skills are necessary other than English. We need a project 
manager for a small hospital and medical center situated in south-western 
Ethiopia. This project is staffed and operated by an American 
organization which has been working in Africa for 38 years. The project 
consists of a very busy outpatient clinic, a small hospital, and various 
community health-related activities. There are presently four Americans 
working there--two physicians responsible for the clinic and hospital, a 
public health nurse who is developing rural health projects, immunization 
programs, and health education as well as a project manager (a non-
medical person). The people we serve in this area are very poor and have 
never before had any modern medical care available to them. The project 
manager is responsible for coordinating all of the projects, relations with 
local Ethiopian officials, and coordinating activities with the Ministry of 
Health. He/she will also be responsible for the physical plant, and the 
welfare of expatriate staff. There are also non-medical projects such as a 
small children's home. Vehicles and African staff issues probably 
consume more time than you would expect, but they are important 
issues. There is currently an African staff of 24. Please feel free to visit 
our web site at www.lalmba.org, or e-mail us at [email protected] The 
person we are seeking should probably have some sense of adventure, 
and hopefully a good sense of humor. We hope to find an individual with 
a humanitarian or spiritual motivation for doing this work. We are a 
small organization which takes our work seriously. Our motto is "work 
hard and play hard". We think that both are important!
