FLI (Friends of Legacy and Intrigue) Reveals Lost Family Found is a story about finding family history hidden for almost a century. FLI is a mysterious group that has decided to enlighten the narrator’s Filipino niece, Jets, and wife, Gemma, to previously unknown family from Germany descent. FLI provide clues that eventually take them to the archdiocese archives where two journals are revealed. The problem is that church and government consider the journals too controversial for public release, let alone to possible descendants. FLI is very influential, pressing the archbishop and others to release the information. The first journal was written by Sara, who laments over a family secret involving a queen from the mid-1800s. The second journal is written by her son, Aaron, who continues their story detailing his struggles from 1930 to 1945 in Germany. The investigations FLI lead Jets, Gemma, and their companions on quests to find the truth and fate of family during World War II are difficult, painful, and satisfying. In the end, they are left with more to find and a single piece of a puzzle that will not be fully understood until all adventures are successfully completed.
Over the past decade, there have been many international calls to strengthen and support/sustain research capacity in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This capacity is considered an essential foundation for cost-effective healthcare systems. While there have been long-standing investments by many countries and research funding organisations in the training of individuals for this purpose, in many LMICs research capacity remains fragmented, uneven and fragile. There is growing recognition that a more systems-oriented approach to research capacity-building is required. Nonetheless, there are considerable gaps in the evidence for approaches to capacity-building that are effective and sustainable. This book addresses these gaps, capturing what was learned from teams working on The Global Health Research Initiative. This book brings together the experiences of research capacity-building teams co-led by Canadians and LMIC researchers in several regions of the world, including China, Chile, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda.
