Additional Information / Shotlist 1
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:36,930
Her labour intensified

2
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,099
she started screaming stop the donkey cart so I stopped

3
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:39,891
when I stopped

4
00:01:39,891 --> 00:01:40,892
she gave birth on donkey the cart

5
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:49,818
I heard that MSF is looking for donkey cart riders (2009)

6
00:01:49,818 --> 00:01:52,987
to ferry sick people from their homes to the hospital

7
00:01:52,987 --> 00:01:55,365
there were three of us with donkeys and we did an interview

8
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:56,449
two of us were taken

9
00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:58,243
that is how I joined MSF

10
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:08,837
I usually get a call telling me there is a sick patient here

11
00:02:09,003 --> 00:02:10,004
come with your donkey

12
00:02:10,004 --> 00:02:11,673
everyone here has my phone number

13
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:13,842
but things have changed a bit now

14
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:16,636
more and more people have cars now

15
00:02:16,636 --> 00:02:19,806
so where I used to pick 20 patients now I pick 5

16
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:29,065
At 2am in the night there was a woman who is in labour

17
00:02:29,065 --> 00:02:30,275
and the car had broken down

18
00:02:30,275 --> 00:02:32,402
I was at health post 6

19
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:36,489
a lady came up to me and told me get your donkey cart ready

20
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:38,741
we are going to pick up a woman in labour

21
00:02:38,741 --> 00:02:41,411
I got my cart ready and picked her up

22
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:44,747
when we got to that big tank at A10

23
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:47,792
you see

24
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:51,671
she gave birth on the donkey cart

25
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:55,633
For someone who does not have a car or the money to pay for one

26
00:02:55,633 --> 00:02:57,218
and I bring them to the hospital

27
00:02:57,218 --> 00:02:59,345
and when they get here they receive treatment

28
00:02:59,345 --> 00:03:01,890
and I take them back to their homes

29
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:03,725
they pray for me

30
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:06,895
this is why I love what I do
