Doctors Without Borders

[empathy]

Has anyone considered working this summer for Doctors Without Borders? They need volunteers and it would look great on a resume.

Doctors Without Borders sponsers Youth Theater Group - See Link. This is pretty cool.

Wouldn't it be really neat if one of these kids became a huge movie star, went back home and spent millions helping their brothers and sisters. We need to get Oprah on board with this idea.

Share some of your experiences with us. I love them too but I have yet to work with them. I just read up on them all the time. It's an amazing lot.

I worked with them between 1991 to 1993, during the Somali civil war. For me I was as a translator for the doctors. We went through hell, to help the poor people who were dying as a result of the war. It is along story and very emmotional too.

reading it might help stir compassion in people and make them want to get more involved. Have you ever read the book, "Suffering into Joy"?

From the Doctors Without Borders website FAQ:

Does MSF accept medical students as field volunteers?
No. Due to extensive workloads, MSF field teams are unable to oversee unlicensed staff. All ancillary duties are filled by national staff, both increasing local capacity and maximizing donor contributions.
