The idea ‘For what you pay to feed your cat, you can save lives in my country.’ That...set a fire under Quinnipiac Professor Dennis Richardson.

He works in remote villages in Cameroon to aid a community of about 1,000 people.

Today, on Where We Live: Some of the challenges and research involved in providing aid to remote parts of Africa. And UConn Africana expert Fiona Vernal sheds light on the history in the region.
