摘要

To experience childhood as Americans knew it a century ago, you don't have to travel very far. Just 700 miles from Miami, on Haiti's desolate Central Plateau, obesity and food allergies and attention deficit disorder are unheard of. In this part of the world, a healthy child is the one who escapes death from tetanus or tuberculosis―someone like 14-year-old Noula. When the boy's family carried him into Dr. Paul Farmer's frontier clinic in the village of Cange two years ago, he had a raging fever and a ballooning abscess on his back. Farmer's team saved his life by treating the TB and other infections that were devouring his spine. But they couldn't restore life to his legs―and they knew he wouldn't survive in his mountaintop settlement without them. So Noula lives in the clinic now. He wheels around behind the auxiliary nurses, coaxing moribund children to hang on, and he seems to feel he's the luckiest guy alive. When I met him last March, he had just been given a new wheelchair. His smile could have lit an office building.
