The last part of team building last December 12, 2015, After watching the Chicken A la Carte, a short Indie film that won at Cannes, the leaders were asked to write a commitment on what they can do about this lack of access to the bounty of this earth by many (nearly 50% of the world and country's population. Many are limited by their attitude - timidity, lack of ambition, fear, lethargy (or laziness) but this is real problem we must face. Many about 10,000 a day die because of hunger because we waste food.
I happened to meet a German fraulein at the gym of the hotel where I was staying. I learned that she was on R & R from Borongan Samar. She works for Caritas an organization that has been in the Philippines for the last two years taking care of Yolanda victims at Borongan. We should admire these volunteers and workers for being interested in the plight of our brethren who are less fortunate, or who were ravaged by the typhoon. How about us? Some take advantage of the situation to earn more for them or we simply do not care.
This post had a lengthy conversation with leader Dovie who is running a 300 bed hospital, I campaigned to her to help keep costs of health care low, as was expressed by Dr. Kerwin Mark Gubantes on the first day of class. The take over by multibillion companies of several well known hospitals has caused the cost of health care to skyrocket. It is all about profit now and when will it end and increasingly, the very high costs of hospitalization may bankrupt Philhealth, burn holdes in the pockets of many. The masses can ill afford health care and may not even see a doctor in their lifetime (a herbalist maybe) Thus I labor with this site: Cheapcures that focus on preventive medicine other lower cost health strategies. I am but one who is campaigning for this As leader Bryan had said, take baby steps towards your goal.
