1.at the beginning of this class, let’ s watch a video. from it, we know that when a nation is in trouble, the people all over the world will give a hand. and we also know that when a destructive disaster happens, medical aid is especially important to the injured people.
today we’ll read a diary entry of a nurse who works for an international organization that provides medical service around the world. after that, i’m sure you’ll have a better understanding about what can be done to help poor people in poor areas.

about msf:
the msf role in emergency medical aid
médecins sans frontières (msf) is an international humanitarian aid organization that provide s emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries.
in countries where health structures are insufficient or even non-existent, msf collaborates with authorities such as the ministry of health to provide assistance. msf works in rehabilitation of hospitals and dispensaries, vaccination programmes and water and sanitation projects. msf also works in remote health care centres, slum areas and provides training of local personnel. all this is done with the objective of rebuilding health structures to acceptable levels.
raising awareness
in carrying out humanitarian assistance, msf seeks also to raise awareness of crisis situations; msf acts as a witness and will speak out, either in private or in public about the plight of populations in danger for whom msf works. in doing so, msf sets out to alleviate human suffering, to protect life and hea lth and to restore and ensure respect for the human beings and their fundamental human rights.
