its quite amazing work …………….but of course we need to help the people and actually its a responsibility of every one studied medicine,,,,,i am medical student and i hope one day i will help a lot of people those need to help……………finally medicines sans frontier in an excellent organization which is my first ambition to work with them so i appreciated.
thanks a lot jannifer….n well done
God bless you for the amazing work you are doing and for making such a difference in so many lives. It was always my dream to work for MSF (probably growing up in Africa and doing med school here in India has something to do with that) , so seeing the work you do has been awesome. Take care.
I first learned this worthy cause thru Dr. Wexler when I had a surgery. He said he dedicates 1 month a year volunteering. I am so impressed to all these doctors who are doing this Godly calling. I started to volunteer in my own little way after this. But what you all are doing is amazing and I feel so little when I do my volunteer. The doctors without borders is my inspiration and my hero. I wish I could do what you all are doing! Take care of yourself so that you can continuously help these people. God bless you for doing this job.
Good work Jen, we need many more people like u, to help people in need.

Jennifer,
I have to applaude you and the other doctors for your committment to aiding those who are in need of your services. Doctors Without Borders is an excellent organization and you are making a huge difference in the lives of so many. You are truly unselfish and to give of yourself and serve in these parts of the world where conditions are so bad says a lot about you. May God bless you and your colleagues and keep you all safe as you continue to do such good work. I will continue to financially support this organization and also urge others to do the same.
Jen, you’re an awesome woman doing amazing work. mkxo
I respect your effort. congratulation.

Hello Ms. Jennifer! Firstly, I have to say I’m completely impressed with what you have done – leaving behind everyone and everything you know and going to a new place to help the people there. I know you’re not the first to do it, and you definitely won’t be the last, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have to appreciate each and every soul who does something to help the needy. For that, you are an inspiration to many! I wish you all the best with your work in Congo.
Personally, I wish to be someone like you too some day, but I’ve still got a long way to go. I’m still in medschool and will still be a medstudent for the next 3 years (told you I have a LONG way to go!) so at this point, I’m pretty useless. Hahaha. Nevertheless, deep down, I know the reason I chose to study medicine is for this – to one day go out there to places where not many people would and do what I can. I’m not making an empty promise – I know I will do it, some day. But for now, I think I’ll just enjoy reading your blog and learn about your experiences.
Once again, best of luck! And do take care of yourself!
