female health workers

I had an opportunity to meet with the female health workers from the local villages. This was an extremely moving experience because we were able ask question about their health care and culture as well as answer questions about our own.  For the first time I felt like a source of usefull knowledge to someone. I was especially moved by the fact that all of these women took the initiative to educate themselves about how to provide health care in a society that is very limiting to women.  Although these women may have different cultural views and options than I do I have the upmost respect women who take an active role to achieve an education to benefit their community.
