The Third Pillar: Family (And The North Koreans of Pemba)

Abstract

This chapter is about pillar number 3: here Ben talks about how important it was for him to have a caring home environment to come back to after the ordeal of the surgery was finished. He also recalls relevant trips he had with his parents to East Africa and a memory of a day in North Korea. Finally Ben’s Uncle Felek, a scientist who spent decades building labs around the world, recalls witnessing a programming session between Ben and Alfonso and gives us his thoughts on the ordeal.
