The topic this week: Global Health
Poverty is the biggest discriminators in regard to health. We will always have the poor with us. Well then lets begin to help them, and when we begin to help, we want to help more and more because we see how great the need is.
3 most important things in the health of a community:
1. Clean water
2. Sanitary disposal of waste
3. Literacy of women
“we are like termites, not being seen but getting on with the work.” in the area of healthcare for developing nations, what we do is about getting the work done and helping people in incredible ways along the way. Its not necessarily about getting all the fancy degrees and money which isnt wrong at all but can hold people back from thinking that there is only one way to help others and be effective .
there are many ways to help others and learning basic skills to do so. there is freedom in knowing this and seeing and hearing stories of how lives and health in communities have changed through people who want to educate and have the heart for the community to change for the better. I love learning about this topic. its educating, insightful, convicting and shows me how much i have to offer.
i love the termite quote!! so true, it's just about getting the job done and not the glory for doing it. miss you liz!
ReplyDeleteyes lets get er done. we dont have time to glorify ourselves, thats what worshipping God is about. glorifying him instead!
