MSF Ireland Week officially ended yesterday. But the good news is that the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre & Fixx Coffeehouse Dublin have very kindly decided to continue hosting our 'Taking Action. Saving Lives' photography exhibition for an extra week. They've been getting a great response to Michael Lavelle's images from the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as the photographs of our Irish volunteers. So, if you haven't had a chance to check out the exhibition yet, pop in to the Powerscourt or Fixx this week for a look. The exhibition will now run until Sunday, 7th October.

Aileen is currently in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), working with MSF. This is her third mission with MSF. She previously completed missions in Haiti and in DRC.
