Video: The IRC
The IRC is training local villagers in Rwanda to treat common childhood diseases like malaria and diarrhea. NBC newsman and co-chairman of the IRC Overseers Tom Brokaw visits one village that is benefiting from the program. Not only did Mr. Brokaw and I learn about the IRC’s community health program — we got to see it in action.  Here, you’ll meet a young mother whose baby was very likely saved thanks to IRC-trained villagers.
