"Giving is more a dictate of the heart than a command of the brain." --Henry A. Russo

Compelled To Serve

Germain Lubango Kabemba, is a Congolese humanitarian worker. He leads Medecins Sans Frontires-Holland in the market town of Kerfi, now home to thousands of refugees. His job is to provide basic healthcare and services to a population that has been cut off from all other international aid since the rainy season began there in July. Kabemba was the only child in his family to go to university and could've easily emigrated to the West, and lived a prosperous life. But, he says he always felt driven to give back. "I'm from a country where people suffer a lot, so I feel compelled to help." This Christian Science Monitor article shares more.
