The story of Peter Gbelia, an LAX-based first officer, reads like a compelling novel or a blockbuster feature film. Born in Spokane, Wash., he lived five years of his childhood with his father in Liberia after his parents separated. He returned to the United States in 1982 just as civil war was breaking out in the troubled country. He went on to become a successful Air Force officer and now a pilot with Alaska Airlines. His father, who had studied law in the United States, fled Liberia, where his political activism had angered ruler and warlord Charles Taylor. While he has not been to Liberia for 25 years, the younger Gbelia has never forgotten the country he considers his homeland, or the many people who are suffering there today. That’s why the 36-year-old, who has flown 737s for Alaska since fall 2006, is taking a leave of absence in January to visit Liberia for the first time as part of his work with a nonprofit he started four years ago.

19 WING COMOX – From now on, whenever she hears someone complain about a busy day, dental technician Master Cpl. Wanda Gulliford will be biting her lip. Relax, it’s not a new dental procedure. It’s just that, fresh from a six-week humanitarian deployment to the Caribbean and Central and South America, Gulliford has a new perspective on working flat-out. “Typically here at 19 Wing we see around ten patients per dentist per day,” says Gulliford of 1 Dental Unit Detachment at 19 Wing. “In our clinics in Suriname or Guyana, we were seeing anywhere from 30-35 daily. Even then, they were lined up outside for hours.” Gulliford was one of 25 Canadian Forces health services members – including dentists and assistants, nurses, physiotherapists, and doctors – to sail aboard a pair of United States Navy hospital ships on one of three rotations between July and October. With their U.S. counterparts, they provided free medical, dental and other humanitarian-assistance programs to underserved areas in a wide variety of countries. Gulliford’s vessel, the giant hospital ship U.S.N.S. Comfort, sailed the Atlantic, while the U.S.S. Pelileu sailed the South Pacific.
