Surgery in Cameroon (5)

Surgery in Cameroon (5)

A moment that touched me a lot, also taken in the room between the two operating rooms. This picture shows the moment of the birth and the baby first screams. I really felt the scream in my body.

I wasn’t touched only about this moment, no, I heard about what sometimes happen with babys in this country. Stories about buckets filled with water when the mother/the family don’t have money to raise a child. It makes me so sad to hear such stories. The reasons for that are diverse. But also the influence of the church makes this possible because of banning contraceptive like condoms and other stuff.

The organization I joined is banning such methods immediately in there hospitals and try to help the mother/family.

It’s not our fault how we raise and how we were born, but I think it’s our mandatory to keep our eyes open and help other people. Yes, the old story about making the world better, we heard and wished it million of times. But sometimes it don’t take a lot to make something better. I really hope the child and the family life well.

Months later I visited vatican city and the vatican museum. After I saw how much money the have and my experience in cameroon I felt that the church don’t care enough about the people there and the problems the with cause.

So I quit the „membership“ and start support a second humanitarian organization.
