my health, my FUTURE - cordaid

“I was very thin when I arrived at the health centre for the first time. The staff didn’t only treat me, they also gave psychological support and advice on how to take my medication. This helps a lot. Sometimes I just want to give up and stop taking my pills, but the people at the health centre remind me that I need to keep taking them.

“My dream is to continue studying and one day teach nursing myself.”

I completed my nursing studies in 2019, but I have applied for a lot of jobs and I’m starting to lose hope. I like all aspects of being a nurse: looking after people, giving them medication, and assisting women when giving birth. My dream is to continue studying and one day teach nursing myself.
