Go Doc Go, meanwhile, has gained supporters and is off and running. The Gondar program is saving the lives of women every day, and a similar program is in the works for two sites in Senegal and possibly a site in Cameroon as well. Money is still needed, of course, and Carpenter's goal is to build the organization's base so it can send volunteers out to field projects every six months or so. And while it's not easy work, it feels great to be able to do it, says Frengle-Burke, who plans to return to Ethiopia this summer. Adds Carpenter, "In modern medicine, it isn't so obvious how much good one is sometimes doing. This kind of work is so needed and so rewarding."
