One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been volunteering at hospitals since I was 17 years old. I have looked after disabled people in Lourdes. I have been going to Ethiopia do volunteering since I was 17 with the missions of charity mother Teresa, since then I have been at least 10 times here, from 4 months up to ten months on different ocasions. I am know studying medicine in Saint Pauls university addis abeba. Also worked in Calcutta with mentally challenged adolescents. I have also done work in uk with autistic children and mentally different patients. My duties have ranged from wound dressing, caring for the sick and looking after physically disabled people and the mentally challenged. There have been plenty of momments in these experiences that have left me amazed, from having the privilege of helping in any way sick patients the months/days/hours before they die and then washing their bodies after, to seeing a paralized man moving their leg after 2 months of physio, and also just having the privilege of being around people with genuine human qualitites and endlessly interesting ways of thinking and behaving, also experiencing and seeing many level of emotions and thoughts.
