From 19 June to 2 July, Lucia Certini (dentist) and Laura Cerato (dental hygienist) took part in a volunteer mission at the Saint Paul Medical-Surgical Center at Ampefy Andasibe, in the heart of Madagascar.
After eleven months spent in Madagascar, I feel the need to stop for a moment and reflect on the intensity and depth of an experience that has marked my life in ways that I can hardly forget.
The 12-month experience in Madagascar, lived in the most remote villages, was for me a real inner journey.
The Universal Civil Service has allowed me to discover values such as gratitude and kindness.
Arianna Scalfi, Alice Tonello, Aurora Colli and Davide Genualdi greet today a year of life lived to the full.
In every journey I choose to live in, in people, in things, in situations, there are places that I like to call places of the heart.
In 2017, Change purchased 1,400 m² of land near the town of Ampefy, where our Saint-Paul Center is also located. This is where our cultivation of Moringa Oleifera, also known as The Miracle Tree.
Thanks to the support of Eight per Mille of the Waldensian Church, the St. Paul Surgical Medical Center it will have new energy.
Thanks to you, this year we treated about 16,000 patients, registered 31,000 acceptances and 1,500 pregnant women who followed our maternity journey.
