I've just arrived back home in the states and I'm reflecting on my trip to Malawi - the places I've been and the people I met during my time there. I've always felt thankful for the opportunity I have to be a doctor and this adventure has made my appreciation so much stronger. I've travelled many times before but this trip has been different. I saw suffering and smiles, extreme hardship yet unfettered will. I saw people previously paralyzed because of illness get up and walk. I saw dedicated people working to make a difference in a place that needs so much and, I learned just how far a little can take you.
Sometimes after you've been given something you'd like to express your gratitiude but you feel that a simple thank you is not enough. Luckily I managed to pick up a few new words, so I don't have to say a simple "thank you" but can say to the people of Malawi, Zikomo kwambiri!
(Thank you very much!)
