About this than nor any womans heads and a bit like that specially for this. Special because so much she got up on the. Board that the minute before the Supper Service soap bubble. I did i soon saw.

Happiness that happiness is then returned to us so good. Karate in the very south of pakistan is situated on the arabian sea with about fifteen million residents its one of the largest cities in the world. Its also one of the most dangerous Armed Security forces are everywhere to protect against crime and terrorism. But there are no armed guards here at the leprosy clinic where i lived and worked. We visited her at the Marie Adelaide Leprosy Center the m a l c in the spring of twenty fifteen she was eighty five years old still full of energy and totally without fear. There had been a number of terrorist attack shortly before our meeting so we asked if it might not be time to arm the guards both male overtly that would be the very last thing to do because of i carry a weapon us than the other person also has to carry weapons and possibly use them to roughly three and there would be terrible of the most lethal and threaten with equal to a. Little. At a time whod far was still carrying out daily rounds in the clinic she always made sure to take plenty of time for her patients. Many of them were recovering from leprosy a bacterial illness also called hansens disease. Left untreated leprosy is a disfiguring and often stigmatizing disease. Because of the risk of infection and many people with leprosy are shunned by society and even their families. These patients are on the road to recovery or. Who always ensured that our patients were treated with dignity and respect and that they knew they were valued. Mervin lobos exceeded hold power as director of the institute its a job hed spent decades preparing for. The b. He brought us up that inspired us motivated us to do the walk for the modernized people was just amazing incredible. He had on be or you know talking in. There one of a very well remember which i can never forget it is yes to the person i know who the problem that if someone comes with an issue at least give him a proper hearing. And if you cant solve the persons problem then you can tell him but it will aid you look at this problem cannot be. That he the person was bad with this satisfaction that he was given a hearing a proper use of. The Islamic Republic of pakistan has long struggled with the legacy of poverty and displacement problems that also have their religion the founding of the state in one nine hundred forty seven. When hindu majority india was partitioned millions of people were killed and millions more driven from their homes. Who also grew up with war and displacement born in like c. In one nine hundred twenty nine she moved to west germany as a young woman im studying medicine in minds. Soon after she entered a catholic order. And she had originally planned to go to india as a nun in one nine hundred sixty. But then a coincidence intervened. When the park is thrown get going in there i went to pakistan because i didnt get a visa for india when i arrived in caracas image of a fellow nine received. What was a kind of leprosy ghetto get to it was more horrible than anything i could imagine a force that there was no such thing as Human Dignity there were that this meant. That she would hope the hits here for us in the night the rats fed on the patients hands and feet and which had lost all sensation and there was no water. And so i decided to stay there and supply. The tasks that awaited her was a daunting one especially as a christian woman in a male dominated society. Its kind behind there was no treatment for the disease at all. I knew that a leprosy drug had been developed twenty years earlier. And they permit the current because it was available in pakistan but no one had bothered to obtain it or was interested in goodwill for the patients didnt even know about it and. Took matters into her own hands during her first year in pakistan she treated several hundred patients two years after arriving in karachi she founded the Marie Adelaide Leprosy Center which she named after one of the founders of her order the number of patients grew by the thousands but so did her worries. As well the get fog as well and we had all robins with money with organization and with winning over the government to our work were done much to your dish for cuffed and of course we struggled to train skilled workers at this moment in the very beginning weve bought a map of pakistan park its dog we put a needle in the matter it will mark where every patient had been born with them one or the difficult good book and by that time we had eight hundred patients and we could see exactly where the leprosy was originating here. So when we knew we had to go come back the disease at its source its it was difficult especially for me as a woman it was the this type of travel the sort you have to do if you want to diagnose every leprosy patient it wasnt really something that women did there there are those that see and with these from phone. So what we did is recruit boys from areas where leprosy was in the demick and brought them to karate for two years. And made it so we trained our own medical staff and gave them a proper medical education and when they finished their two years they were very motivated to. Fit. Many patients didnt want to leave clinic even after theyd recovered one became the most loyal assistant. In the room when you meet him maybe dont make water wait that. I started working for her forty years ago first as an assistant in the infirmary. Later i became a kind of girl friday. Maybe it was get out this out or if it does i made sure she had proper meals. Give it i handled all her errands. And i spend a great deal of time with her travelling. Memoire know where your property. Or dont get even pressed me the most i got for for the mug of the head i never heard her complain about anything of what it was get on a being that you dont have very. Good that she was always so positively giddy a year or two of the. File preferred to remain in pakistan even though she could have had a comfortable career at home in west germany. Friend disses now i found a postwar germany so completely banal and i found it on bearable so i wanted to get away from that as its good that it into a case of course you couldnt have a profit conversation at our own oh so it was all people talked about were things like what car you buying next what me what model wage i couldnt deal with those kinds of priorities. There is stuff that theres the priority rikishi threats some of us. Are then i started working with or i came to know how difficult it is to work with dr fox. Because for her it was late there was no rest manistee from seven oclock eastern start right up to twelve oclock those is there were no more ways no computers so it was everything was mine you saw if you were out with her in the provinces and normally it used to be about four or five weeks so it is david gordon this to make it your family with the of them. So i and my dad he was a man we were supposed to be monsters. Or priests or brothers whatever you may call it. Their work paid off twenty years after whod power arrived in pakistan there was a medical breakthrough. In and of say she clicked us and we got a new drug in one thousand nine hundred eighty one those for here figure made the only one only so impressed the disease by interfering with bacterial replication the for male organ but the new multi drug therapy which was developed in one thousand nine hundred one actually killed the bacteria is the but cylinder cliff so then we were able to cure the disease within six months to two years conquered that was wonderful but you did have to be careful because of the side effects and was the question of and especially to ensure the therapy was taken out of some lovely regularly they made a good moment buddha two years earlier in one nine hundred seventy nine file had been appointed an honorary advisor on leprosy at pakistans ministry of health by then she was no cross the country. In the seventh glass i saw in the t. V. And i think he talking about the patience of leprosy as his say i come from germany and i want to solve the life of the poor. And i did that by my believe i have been higher. And they really have because they want to see and then i had open letter to her in. One thousand nine hundred ninety seven in a property is stuff i came and i sold all our and when i thought id see it she thought. This not only would this shes more. Human. Nor ford. Total marks for the goose that laid the most snow but or live with the woman there is the best because she wanted to suck the life of many. Other greats in the local police to get it started eat it up eat at the base and this is what. You need to. See the culmination of her work came in one thousand nine hundred ninety six when the World Health Organization announced that leprosy in pakistan was under control. Pakistan was among the first countries in south asia to control the disease its spread had nearly stopped and the number of newly diagnosed people had dropped drastically. But what file had no plans to retire. She was already sixty nine years old when this video was made. Some called her the Mother Teresa of pakistan but unlike her fellow nun in neighboring india she was less interested in her spiritual journey than in her medical one. And there was a norm vishk dish this was her way to in the above i think its hugely important to obtain the inner freedom that will allow you to see things as they really are. If not the way you would like them to be and or as you would have them in your dreams so in a letter to grant the other person the right to be c. E. O. Is going to be seen as they truly are and to be accepted business thats rich and without imposing our view on them. So again oh but allowing the other person to be who they are and affirming that of our mention. To. People these were people who needed help and support they couldnt get it off they needed professional help no questions. But what they also needed. Very much needed this was human warmth and caring we must never forget that it is a problem we have always planned and worked in a very strategic way but we also always did whatever we could to ensure that in the midst of all this work and planning we never lost sight of our participation long does have its natural due to the force. Of the what we are. Going to do is. The. Mark. That. She feared i think the most comfortable she was when she was with the patients. On lake i think the other individuals when even the provinces. If he had to spend the night in the villainess he would before spending that made with the patient. So for whole patient was a good thing and he was so demanding for the patients that she would see that when a patient steps in your room you have to stand up. This is that is very good for the patient. So this was a total contrast. That all individuals then go about beating the evidence. That you just. Did of. Over the decades who followed her team have cared for more than fifty thousand people with leprosy by scared people make up the little. Girl is upset. Along with the main clinic in karate the Organization Also has more than one hundred medical outposts across pakistan. Over the years theyve been placing increasing emphasis on training doctors and medical assistance. Pakistan is one of the youngest countries in the world there is no shortage of young people seeking work but there are a few opportunities for Career Training especially for womens. Team was an exception. It does so with a show of two of us who im overjoyed with this or who called me we have three girls i now know four from five and we have one from simpson one from afghanistan two from baluchistan and one from karachi its a real breakthrough splits least i cannot think of plots when we train paramedical staff we take the trouble to start with basic scientific knowledge made in the two isnt that lays a foundation and this and its a fun and that it will hold but we have often been attacked for it often left early often asked its of even in germany but why we put so much money into it some of this if it get punched there is a us and a puppet that we say that we will have lepers and finally under control at some point and then we can. You use these people for many other things its a teaching someone here is a pleasure and they absorb the knowledge like a sponge as with this always manage to my class spark so just by encouraging the young pakistanis to ask you why pakistani spy capataz. So far. As an audition give it the other day and get they told me that if we sent them three more boys they would have their own revolution for at some point the revolution has to start over the years and we also pay a lot of attention to character building with our Young Employee wards where your live so that when we do get a revelation itll be a gentle one that we germans have experience with that so i hope that some of them will imitate us issue for the sake. Of us thats the hope is that. Some years ago the Marie Adelaide Leprosy Center also began treating tuberculosis and preventable blindness. Always went where the need was gracious. Not that. They arent another person with leprosy and his family needed help. She spent her days caring for people in need or was this how she did madge and her future towards. It being go fish they would wish and im not interested in selfsacrifice i just enjoy my work here much more than anything germany could have offered me a good list as it was not that i have anything against it and i think wealth is fine but i find children absolutely gorgeous with crowds that i would. Minded marrying im sure i would have been a stimulating but perhaps not simple wife if you have a. Super one good friend. In the you know less t. As she is very close to. What they want to marry but since then i get that cream this is not my life just that it went on so that it becomes. On the last five then we are to the downside to this its not my life and the board and i that money after my d. L. R. I had that could be ignored or lied this back and the r. And d. Promised each other never met. She decided this was her life helping people in pakistan Child Mortality rates here remain high and the country has the highest newborn mortality rate in the world. Girls who are still seen as less desirable upper to kill early affected female infanticide is still practiced here. Newborn girls are sometimes abandoned and girls are often neglected. This was a problem that hoop file attempted to address in homework. To bite the fewer top view at the start we took a strategic approach focusing not only on the patient with but also on their family. We want to provide children with opportunity for a Better Future that can only happen through education risky move. At c. Or who are pleased to. Kerryn geo also helps set up schools especially for girls more than forty percent of the population is illiterate most are women in some parts of the country only one in four women can read and write that was also something would far wanted to change. But she was often helpless in the face of the immensity of need. Many of pakistans nearly two hundred Million People live in acute poverty. Hard artists will see. That. The heart is numbing caught this never seen because then i saw them be very close and cite fifteen years or one get is we are in get this up bush. Feeble and off to the israeli left and we are in the good and then we come back the people this it was this is are we yes or what it about. Visit to me i must we go back because i saw this me it is the effect the. Us was second in being bad. And then. Then that each in a side of this for me it was time i saw her she is she sleeping. She says who he is i bargain for these be. Large or small ones by the killed these people. And till the end hard to see. Nearly one hundred thousand people were killed in the earth quake many schools collapsed and entire cast as a School Children were buried in the rubble. Three and a half Million People left homeless. Been. Since im a christian the last question on my list on Judgement Day will be why. When its really what im convinced that im not the only one who will ask that question for this woman and im convinced well get an answer oh my goodness if i didnt believe that i would have said as so much madness in the world by gone by so i believe this madness is only superficial. There must. Be somebodys guard. And well discover it. Was it was. The many awards she received in both pakistan and germany were of little consolation to have. Been twenty twelve at the prestigious german media bambi awards she was honored in the category silent heroes but she found the ceremony just comforting. In that. Path then really the main stay in that very high that was the you dont like. To see all this spend that money is if they gave that money to me i wouldnt spend money on my people not for that ignis or here and theyre gone for. For a make up when. I cant stand it spend more money and insist this is not. And then. She did with the makeup but she dont like. I dont want but this in this is all good to adopt but that. Well with all the states and we went there and this to see my heart its pakistan until im in the all down big could all be a riot and instead grown children here warry. She lived in a modest apartment in two rooms. Her most precious possessions included pictures of her parents and the last three popes. Of the earth as. It is here is that it was her patients who brought her the greatest happiness. You know hard to send a most people with leprosy not one hundred percent but most of them can marry and have children i mean they are represented in all occupations in a legal wall for today leprosy is an illness that people get and then its treated and its over and done with quick demands a list of the. Four by. Today the m a l c institutions become family established in pakistan more and more locals are getting involved often financially the aim is to help people help themselves. Either said ninety m. Bus and was coming from the german liberty Relief Association but that the program was. Mainly focused on leprosy so once we started controlling leprosy the started also diversifying into the activities because we had to sustain the sort them success in the long run and thats where the presents for leprosy had to be amended. The funding of the w. B. C. Believe the agent has not gone down if you see the. But because of the expansion the rich sure has now gone down on the funding that we were getting ninety nine percent from foreign donors now its come to fifty fifty the local coppers have taken up the general public they are getting is a card also there is a local. Charity of muslim giving so that has gone up people noise. Trying to get organized locally also because theres got to be said that the locals have a good responsibility of running this program. This couple from one of the wealthiest families in the city is involved here theyve donated a new wing to the center. What i see is that she was coolio visionary when she turned sixty five he started the handing over process so the handing over process. Lasted for twenty three years as long as she was alive but some seven years back she had put me in a beaver drawn from the mainstream book and she was only available for advice for guidance here the dawn legacy is what i personally feel is how a person though creates the continuities the cunning of us and she was of age maybe and she gained a group of people who are not taking over the mantle of the program. And im sure that this scheme will work in the same spirit as the. Yes. The new wing will house a small physiotherapy center. It will also house a workshop to make special shoes for the patients the cobbler used to be a patient himself. But however much the center has managed to accomplish theres still much work to be done. So well stay with the situation here has deteriorated. Once dreamed that pakistan would be able to solve its problems. Just. Guns and shed and off one good toy placed immense hope and the belief that democracy will do something to improve the government. But until now we havent managed that. We havent brought about a real democracy that will teach. Anger fear paul. Economic inequality is rising in pakistan man new tradition water scarcity and a lack of work helped form a breeding ground for islamist fundamentalism. Does emmys says so in the email see is really an island of wayne but overall. As we went through a period somehow you always feel less than c c. Thats especially true for christians about two and a half million live in pakistan but this demonstration by Catholic Christians can only be held under police guard theyre demanding better protection against terrorism not long before many christians have been killed in a suicide attack. Us you have even as a symbol of the suppression shes been in prison since receiving a death sentence in twenty ten for allegedly blaspheming the prophet mohammed a pakistani governor who stood up for her was assassinated the largest attack on christians today took place in lahore where nearly seventy christians celebrating easter were killed but hope to pakistan remained a unshaken the more difficult it gets the stronger she would get so she was that of course and but towards the end i think there would have been the countrys it was mostly what it he at band used to be depressed he was a human being he would feel depressed and he said when i get by the sun was little better now what has happened to this country but again she said if anybody starts giving up then who will fight for the. Past by then who to file had realised her own fight was drawing to a clarion. Sheilas it because you could see it in eyes and he was giving up he just said that now he wants to. Let me go let me go. Before that one she was in the chapel and she was being really hard so someone asked her doctor. This time you took a little longer she said yes i was praying to the lord that if he takes me of it if you can give me five minutes every day do let me see what is happening in him is he so you see her heart her spirit was in the program. I would never ever business on the board which i think is too far would now or ever is only but she is that big must just gone. In just stand on the bench and she will be very closely on the beat and she says this is my dogs do this. And. Lemon forty five well maybe lemon fifty. But just my eyes is cool. Suddenly my isis blows. And then few minutes. She does and then i open my eyes mind my. Sister and just hug her. And she. Is in the midst of. It least thats what i love to or. What cloud died on august the champs twenty seven. She was eighty seven years old. She lies buried in a Christian Cemetery in karachi. How work at the memory adelaide not proceed continues a wish she had repeated to get shortly before her death. Even if all staff and patients mourn she had predicted. The work will continue with the same dedication. That theyre given heidi when welcoming met but. There is a void of what they were built up on never was get out the mother with pleading didnt matter where you think. She was like a mother and when youre with your mother you dont think about what comes afterwards. But that it there was a federal level i take it there would be a war with governor the governor a gun maybe a b. B. It out but now as i walked through old rooms i feel emptiness everywhere. What is the name he had or or about those for the. Small apartments now serves as a museum. And her memory remain a presence here. Too now i think of all. I want to go back to some time and sit. Back and still be on even though by the Francis School may i look up he might do us out so good a storm gugu for you if you want to come back until many please stop instantly and she see gnome my b. P. Is going to him and she see i am born in germany mark my heart be in. Bonds. Then the. Whole motivation it was that she had i think. Gone son for any any type of something. It was not only the leprosy bishan because it was horrible it was nobody on the a stick approach he never he didnt need or need the disease but he healed the boss and. Got right now god doesnt make damaged goods or a jag since god cannot be here in person we are here on earth to ensure that no person is shut out everyone is precious and the measure of that worth my is not in their usefulness but is intrinsic to their humanity so they.
