Member Feese survived the terror attack on the UN Building in Abuja, Nigeria on 26th August 2011. Her ordeal brought a lot of people together as we experienced first hand the appalling state of healthcare service delivery in Nigeria. We also realised that we cannot continue to look away and wait for ‘someone else’ to do ‘something.’
Our experience was a mere engagement with the symptoms of a greater problem – a problem that many times seems too big to tackle, but we cannot keep looking away. What will happen to our children and future generations if we do? The risks are too high.
We have decided that we will do what we can and encourage others to do what they can. If many of us contribute drops to this ocean, then the waves of change will inevitably rise. There is strength in numbers!
