children into the world in very healthy condition and environment. Expressing
her satisfaction the dedication of the workers at the health Centre,

when others were out celebrating shows your dedication and professionalism. I
notice the babies and their mothers look healthy and clean, I encourage you to
keep it up.”

to fulfill a passion I have long practiced, hence the reason I feel comfortable
doing what I am doing and I am happy that now that am privileged to be the

wherever and whenever I feel it is needed.”
