I spent a year working in Africa (2 different countries 6 mos ea). In that time I definitely saved several lives, and addressed on going problems and issues in communities to improve health.

Did it change the whole world? Well, I definitively saved at least 10 different children’s lives (the ones I’m sure about- the others could have gone either way…) and I have no idea what these children will do…so did I entirely change the world. Maybe-they will go on to do something great. CHildren are such great big bundles of potential. I always imagine them as someone who could change the world- as soon as they master walking, talking and eating….
