One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

6 years ago, I have decided to work on an island where people have never seen doctors before. I left the comfortable city life, the prestigious specialty trainings to see these people. It has been my honor since then. I fell inlove with the island its people. I saw that life is happier when you live simply and with a purpose.
