Beautiful people, beautiful smiles…
Every day we are seeing so many people at each of the clinics. Every patient is a new experience and each one has their own story…
Today, I wanted to talk about Theresa, who is over 70 years old (many of the people here don’t know how old they are). Theresa has worked all her life as a tea picker in the tea plantations around Siliguri. Each day, Theresa picks 22kgs of tea leaves and makes 62 rupees, whhich is about $1.50 Australian. As you can image, Theresa has had a very tough life and is very poor.
When I treated Theresa today I massaged her back and her neck… and she smiled so widely and was so happy to have someone listen to her story and spend some time with her….. She is just one of the fantastic people I have treated on this trip so far. It is a wonderful and humbling experience that I will always treasure.
