The Relief Team
Humedica, the German based humanitarian aid organization, sends doctors to hard-hit areas of natural disasters, wars and poverty. Due to the widespread media coverage of the famine here in Niger, they sent a medical team of volunteer doctors and paramedics to hold medical clinics, administer medicine and provide supplemental food for infants and food distribution for needy families in the hardest hit areas of the famine.
They were helped by a group of local African believers from Hosanna Church. I also got to go along and be an important part of the team, preparing medicine for the children and explaining to the mothers how to take each one, assisting with minor surgeries and comforting frightened children. It was a blessing to be a part of it.
L-R Hamadou, Manuel, Ali, Me, Rolf, Aisha, Boubakar, Omar, the chief of the village, and Stefan. The three guys in white shirts are from Humedica, and the rest are volunteers from Hosanna church here in Niamey.
