Rostros en la erradición de la pobreza en China: » Amistad» | Amigos Internacionales en Acción
Foreign i was a doctor at that time trying to find out what our life purpose would be for my wife and myself and then we applied with an organization who sends out people to east asia but in those days they only needed doctors in china and we were afraid of china
I still remember riding uh driving back to the car with my wife we talk we talk and talk and share our feelings i have hope and i have medical skills why not put that together and then go for it Medical care was was very simple in those days the hospital didn’t have much equipment i was asked to help in the operating theater introducing general anesthesia and the instruments the medicine they could use everything was very very limited but they were willing to learn and i thought that was the most important Thing i always wanted to do that kind of getting out of of the town and helping those who have the greatest needs Two or three years of primary school that is all of education here but after we had finished the first water system project he came up with better ideas engineering ideas he loves to build things and he had really good ideas how he could do better the best difference in all those years
From from my angle of view is the introduction of the farmer’s health cooperative increased the subsidy every year increased so in the end it was only 10 cry the farmer pays 10 cry the government pays 40 cry and then you have a basic health insurance for the next year
I wouldn’t have come here because it meant giving up a lot in the beginning can manage to stay 10 years in those days to make it worthwhile to put in so much effort but then after getting used to it learn to love the people more and more and i didn’t want to leave You
