It is a great pleasure to know that you have been honored Honorary Citizenship. Well deserved and probably the least we can do considering your dedication, five-decades-long accomplishments and love for Ethiopia. The energy in you is commendable! …….and I look forward to read ‘The Hospital by the River’!

I heard a lot more about Dr Hamlin from colleagues who used to work for the fistula hospital. Dr Hamlin is a joyful, dedicated hardworking, unconditional loving person who was called upon right from heaven. Her compassion and love to her patients surely is unique and clear to those who witness that she brought them direct from haven.

I would not claim I had enough words to express my appreciation to the great work this exemplary God loving woman did over those years. Simply put, she is the glories of the contemporary God’s love that overgrows in the heart of millions of women touched by her cures and those witnessed her unreserved love. Dr Hamlin is a great leader by example, always pierce her colleagues with love and devotion thereby transcending them to a level higher than they were. Wishing her well!

What a well deserved honour for Dr. Catherine, her family and the hospital. She’s a fantastic inspiration to Christians, women and humanitarians everywhere.

There is nothing better in life than to use your skills to help others – especially something as shaming (to communities) as fistula. And through their cures, these young women can return with dignity, to help their families and communities grow and prosper.

Thank God for the Hamlins!
