To remember from the beginning
Wednesday, May 15, 2024
In 1991 the film Amjads Village (see Archive www.dgfk-archive.de ) was made by the DGFK e.V. and premiered in the Babylon Film Theater in Berlin. A young doctor, Dr Leila, was inspired to provide basic medical care in the village between 1991 and 1993.
Between 40 and 50 patients came to her every day!
Even after her departure (she lived in the USA, New Zealand, now Australia) she financially supported the emerging BHU (Basic Health Unit), now with its own building.
She was followed by Dr Elizabeth from Melbourne (she received an Australian Order of Merit), Dr Karola (she received a German Order of Merit), -
Three village girls traveled to Dr Ruth Pfau in Karachit to train as LHV. The nurse Marlis from Switzerland, who also worked in the Cameroonian subsidiary project and received a medal of merit there, continued to run the BHU.
