CMC'S NEWS' REVIEW (II) by Marc Larraz

Ambulance Work in Liberia Is a Busy and Lonely Business

The New Work Times                                                                                              19/10/14



SCIENTIFIC SHIELD: Biology, medical

SUMMARY
The article explains how Mr. Kamara treats Ebola patients with his ambulance. What is really unexpected is that Kamara doesn't work for the government. He does not even have a dispatcher to tell him where to go, or which patients to pick up.  Instead, his team is financed by an opposition member of Parliament, Saah. Joseph and he work for people.
He doesn't earn money for this but he says if i make nothing they'll die.


CRITICAL APPRAISAL:
I'm surprised to see that there are still good people in the world. Kamara risks his life to save others. I think that there's no nobler way to live.
When you can say that you saved a life you  can rest in peace. 
In this world that only the money move things, people like Mr. Kamara  makes me think that we still have hope. 

While governments make only matter if ebola arrives to their countries there are hospitals that can't treat all the ebola paciens and some people have to give his life trying to save other.

In the next video we can see a "tipical day" in Liberia driving Kamara's ambulance:
