Nicaragua
Today was a wake up call. My whole universe moved. I spent the whole day with the MSF team and it was not until I came out on the street that I understood how professional they were and what a respect they have from the people living on the street. Instead of searching for the people, they actually came up to thank us and to ask for our advice. My strongest memory is the family that was living in the garbage. I never really understood why they lived in the garbage and not further away. ”The garbage is an asset and not just garbage. By living close to the garbage the family gets a bigger chance to find food and things to sell from the garbage! Now I understood how important it is to really understand the people that you are helping. The team in Honduras are really spectacular with extreme knowledges in dealing with people on a personal level. What a fantastic experience. Life is easier today in Honduras thanks to Medecins Sans Frontiers….
