Hi ! Guess what? I’ve done it.
I'm sorry I haven’t written you for a long time, but I spent a lot of time in places where Wifi didn’t work.
I send you with this email some pictures of these places.
I’m very happy I involved in this charity group, even if I miss you, of course.
I live incredible experiences.
The last month, I was in Philipines to help doctors and nurses of the association « Médecins du Monde » who take care of needing people around the world.
They have a lot of different missions, for example, they help people to have better work conditions (like where I was) or to have better conditions for women and teenager girls who are pregnant in Sri Lanka for example.
They help also children or men in some countries.
Their missions are very varied.
To be volunteer you must have some skills in medicine, but all people can be useful.
The charity needs all kind of skills in marketing, communication and to translate for example.
Of course, If you would like to be volunteer, you must be devoted, well-organised, helpful, outgoing, determined, optimistic… It’s a lot of qualities that you can learn in volunteering.
You can also help the charity from home with sharing it, or give some money.
Here, in Philipines, a lot of people work in unhealthy conditions.
For exemple, I met a men who was very ill because he has worked for thirty years , without protections, directly on the ground, with toxic dishes.
He stripped down computers.
Did you know it’s very dangerous !?
We helped him to have better conditions like gloves and masks, and medicine examens.
Thanks of this charity, 11 700 000 people were helped around the world.
I’m not skilled in medicine but I helped French doctors to translate in order to help them be able to talk with their patients.
I help to my way and even it’s a little thing, I contribute to save them.
This, makes me feel happy.
Before I become volunteer, I was just me, a little person in a big world, but when I became volunteer, I’ve discovered how I can be more : someone who can be useful, not just someone.
Be in a charity taught me perseverance, courage, sharing, to be patient (you know I wasn’t !
;-) ) and generous.
Volunteering learn us a lot of things of the life that you can’t learn in other ways…
I love when I feel useful, it’s why I’ll go to SriLanka for two months tomorrow !
I promise you to write you more often.
I hope you’re proud of me… I love you. Love,
Em’.
