Join our reading community!

On the third Wednesday of every other month, we gather virtually to discuss books that expand our understanding of the world and deepen our empathy for the human experience. Our selections are chosen to help us grow — both personally and in our work as humanitarians — as we explore new perspectives and seek to better understand our neighbors. 

Current Read:

John Green, bestselling author and passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest disease.

Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.

In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells the story of Henry, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John Green weaves Henry’s story through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
