    Time Tested Books and UC Davis School of Medicine, Class of 2011 is pleased to present a special evening with Dr. Rick Hodes, a benefit for his work in Ethiopia. Dr. Hodes will be discussing his work and signing his biography This Is a Soul: The Mission of Rick Hodes by Marilyn Berger.

    This Is a Soul tells the remarkable story of Rick Hodes's journey from suburban America to Mother Teresa's clinic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. As a boy, Rick was devoted to helping those in need, and eventually he determined that becoming a doctor would allow him to do the most good. When he heard about famine in Africa, that's where he went, and when genocide convulsed Rwanda, he went into the refugee camps to minister to the victims. When he was told that Ethiopia was allowing its Jews to emigrate to Israel, he went to help. While there, he was drawn to Mother Teresa's mission in Addis Ababa. It was there that Rick found his calling when he began caring for the sickest children in one of the world's poorest countries. But he did more than that—he began taking them into his home and officially adopted five of them.
