Help Us Continue Dr. Lotta’s Legacy
"I can remember her voice so distinctly on the CBC radio noon program that my parents listened to in very rural Saskatchewan where I grew up. As a small child I conjured up my own images of her work and was amazed how her work continued to influence me in the years that my husband and I lived and worked in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Pakistan."
