I was unsure whether to talk about it, but I want people to know trips like this aren’t all fun and laughter. "It’s tough, emotionally draining, and you constantly feel a sense of helplessness. when i set out on this trip I wanted to be real and document the reality of each day.
so it’s only fair I share this too. "We set out with sacks of food and 200 meals for each patient. as we distributed it to each ward i’ll never forget what I saw.
people laying on metal bed frames, torn mattresses, some on the floor. "Kids severely underweight. new born babies not knowing they now exist in a world that is so unfair.
the elderly left there frail and lonely. "These patients get one government meal a day, usually some grains. that’s not enough on a normal day, let alone when you’re unwell.
