James Fanstone (8 August 1890 to 1985) was a British Christian medical missionary. In the early 1900s he traveled into the interior of Brazil to live and work as a surgeon and doctor in the remote town of Anapolis in the Brazilian state of Goias, a remote region which had a population of over 500,000, but had no doctors and no schools. He built the first hospital in the region. == Early Life and education== Fanstone was born in Brazil, the son of James Fanstone, a British Christian missionary to Brazil, and Elizabeth Baird.〔("Obituary of James Fanstone" ). ''Sussex Agricultural Express'' - 13 August 1937. via British Newspaper Archives (subscription required).〕 He grew up in Brighton in England and was home schooled by his mother until the age of ten. He began playing the organ at the age of eight and became the organist at his local Sunday School. He continued playing the organ in this type of role for the rest of his life. As part of an educational scholarship, Fanstone learned carpentry. When he was 15 his father ceased his travel to Brazil, becoming instead a non-conformist pastor, and the family moved to the country. Fanstone studied medicine, beginning at age nineteen, while living in a hostel run by the Medical Missionary Association in London. During World War I, he treated casualties in Britain and later served in a field ambulance in France for four years. When the war ended, he resumed his training, and gained an MD in tropical diseases from the University of London〔(" A fascinante história do rádio" ). ''Radio Imprenza'', Brazil.〕 and a diploma in tropical medicine and hygiene. He joined a mission, the Evangelical Union of South America, and studied theology for two years in Glasgow. In 1922 he married Daisy and the couple moved to Brazil.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Fanstone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
