David Koren was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Amaogwugwu, Umuahia, between 1964 and 1966. When the Nigeria-Biafra war broke out in 1967, he accepted a call to work on the Biafran Airlift from Sao Tome. He helped to organize the warehouses in Sao Tome, fly relief material into Biafra and sometimes evacuated vulnerable children-the very ill and malnourished-who were at the risk of dying. His account of the Airlift is published in a book - Far Away In The Skies. It is on sale on Amazon. A Nigerian version of the book will be launched in August 2018.
