Dr. Lena

She is a tall Indonesian woman. She is going to be a Medical Doctor. She has completed her studies and just needs to pass her medical examination to get a license to practice medicine. Dr. Lena came to our base to work on her English language. She is very good in English but wanted a more technical grasp of the language.

She told us that she came to learn English but she learned compassion. Dr. Lena studied medicine to have a successful and prosperous life. She admits she got into medicine to make lots of money. She watched the way our medical staff gave to each patient. They show respect and mercy to everyone who comes to our clinic. They show no partiality--it does not matter if they are poor. It does not matter if they are Muslim or Christian--they all get the same care. She witnessed this day after day and it began to touch her. She is a good person and will make an amazing doctor now that she has discovered the key--compassion.
