Book excerpt: Loving Endeavour highlights the challenges faced by rural communities in Zimbabwe from the 1950s - the days of the federation of Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland - through the Unilateral Declaration of Independence years starting in 1965 and further onwards through the years of the liberation struggle in the 1970s. Progress in healthcare and education in a rural part of western Zimbabwe is traced and highlighted with reference to Francis Boatwright and his wife Monica. Boatwright was an exceptional Anglican missionary whose range of skills, interests and abilities ranged from construction work to journalism and administration. He provided much-needed leadership and expertise in the development of an educational institution which also included a clinic.
