Excerpts from Dorothy Jane Hudson’s letters describing two years in Southern Nigeria with CUSO as a physiotherapist. She details Kano visits to the Emir, hospital work at St Joseph’s Rehab, rural roads, power outages, a leprosy colony, a St Vincent de Paul celebration, polio cases, Ekpo secret society, and daily life including rain showers, water shortages, and a birthday trip to Calabar. She notes encounters with students, doctors, and locals, descriptions of culture and infrastructure, and plans for future outreach.
