Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986 my mother Ruth T. Shaffer published her memoirs "Road to Kilimanjaro" about her life-long service in Kenya with my father Roy E. Shaffer. "Shafari" is my memoir. The hybrid title blends the well-known Swahili word for a journey, safari, with my family name, Shaffer. This memoir extends by another generation my parents' journey of service in Africa. My own life safaris traversed a variety of continents, countries, organizations, cultures and vocations. The vocational heart of SHAFARI is my efforts to help rural communities to be more self-reliant in protecting and preserving their own health with their own means. Or, put more simply, to make medical clinicians less needed. Such improvement, I believe, is enhanced when participants enjoy the liberating experience of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the one who promised "life more abundantly". My philosophy and practice are detailed in my two booklets "Beyond the Dispensary" and "Community-Balanced Development".
