Noreen Lineen-Curtis
| Address: | Castlebar, Co. Mayo. |
Dr. Noreen is a native of Achill Island. She has worked in GP practice on Achill for over twenty years and now works for the Mayo off-shore islands – Clare Island, Inis Biggle and Achill Beg. Interspersed between Noreen’s ‘scribblings’ are stories describing the work of Brighter Communities Worldwide from the communities across Kericho County, Kenya. Dr. Noreen’s connection to Africa began when she spent three months in Ethiopia as a student before her final year of medicine. She first visited Kenya and got involved with the work of Brighter Communities Worldwide in 2019. What struck her was the synergy between delivering health care in remote, rural West of Ireland and remote, rural parts of Kericho county. Ever since then Dr. Noreen has been a staunch supporter of BCW and the West of Ireland Kenyan Partnership and this book is her biggest and most ambitious contribution. Source: Commons
