One student told us her story: and has given us permission to write it down.
Both her parents were killed in the war and she and her siblings only survived by hiding in the bush whenever necessary. They had no clothes and slept under banana leaves . They walked miles to find water, and often had to keep walking because the water was contaminated by dead bodies. Sometimes they were so thirsty they had to push the bodies aside and drink the water. When asked how come she could still smile she said – I’m alive.
In the classroom today she gave us a learned presentation on intravenous induction agents.
Her journey from that river to our teaching classroom is totally unimaginable. Don’t ever think that things can’t get better, never give up. What a woman, what can we teach her, and what can she teach us?!
