Gold Medals

While Indonesia has only one gold medal that I have seen in the Olympics. I believe we have a lot of gold medal winners on our staff. If I were to give the medals I would award many of them with gold medals in compassion.

Our staff members make a winning effort when they care for the lepers at our base and nearby. Olan is so committed to the health and emotional well being of these rejected people. Olan wraps their woulds and spends time talking to them while quickly becoming their friend. Eka has served the T.B. patients for years. She goes out every day to make sure they are eating nutritious food and that they are taking their medicines. Yohanis goes out to the remote islands to find children we have heard were being abandoned. He also escorts the sick including lepers to our base. He is a winner in my estimation.

There are many others who serve with IFC who make amazing efforts to serve the least and the lowest. They are all real heroes. I admire everyone of them and I know they are saving lives and relieving the suffering of thousands on these remote islands.
