Interesting points, not very factual

“I think this podcast brought up a general problem in missions - white saviourism, personal glory, exaggerating stories for financial gain, etc. But I think putting the spotlight on Renee Bach as some kind of monster is unfair. The producers/journalists in this podcast said many times that they could not find the facts in this case. So much of this story was based on rumor and gossip. I have no doubt that Renee was operating outside of her scope of expertise as a medical professional. However, it’s hard to know if she caused actual harm. Many of the doctors they interviewed supported her and insisted that these children were better off at her center vs the local hospital. This is not necessarily surprising to me. Looking at this from an American perspective and hearing that they didn’t take someone to the hospital or have a proper license is shocking. But if you’ve traveled anywhere else you might realize that these things are handled very differently in other countries. Also, it was very apparent that in this particular city in Uganda there was a toxic culture of competition, jealousy and who knows what else among missionaries. It actually does seem a bit like Mean Girls which is even mentioned in this podcast. Anyway, I found this interesting and it brought up a lot of good thought provoking points, but about half way through it became clear that there was no solid evidence to most of the claims being made.”

It provides a more holistic view of this type of work. It highlights the need for important critical discourses, around all...”Read full review »
