This time, the phone was actually stolen from my bag, so I obviously didn't get it back. My mom offered to buy me a new one, but I declined. As much as it sucks to not have my awesome iPhone, I borrowed and old Samsung from a friend and it will have to do.
I guess I learned something.
So for this new year 2016, as I prepare to go back to Tchad and deal with real poverty, hunger, need, I hope to keep my priorities in order and remember that there are many things more important and necessary than a phone.
And I wish for all of us, whether you have something to do with medicine or not, that we strive to make the world a better place. Even a little bit. We really *can* make a difference, and if we all do just a little, it all adds up to something great.
Happy New Year from Berlin!!!!
