My name is Sayed Kamyabudin Sayed. I’m from Khost Province in Afghanistan. Since 2012 I started this job with MSF in the Logistics department and my job is Technical Service Manager here in Khost maternity.

Thanks to God I have four children—three sons and one daughter. But the daughter, really, I love my daughter. I’ll tell you a short story, because one time they gave me first aid training. And when I did this first aid training, which was for our team in MSF, I took the notes home, I shared them with my daughter, my daughter learned this and she gave it to her teacher. In the village they have a teacher, and the teacher explained it in the class, for all the other girls. I like that I learned something here, I shared it with my daughter, and my daughter passed it to her classmates. Because in the village there is no facility to train small girls so they can understand something medical.

Today there’s a lot of women that really need help, and really I want my children to be better educated to help that kind of poor people. I want, especially for my daughter, to become a doctor, a good doctor to serve our community.
