Sept. 14

Today's post from Ericka reveals what those of us who don't volunteer in conflict don't usually see, discouragement at not being able to do more.

This time I also posting the responses to Ericka's post, I have removed the names of the people that posted, but kept her mom's, my cousin's id intact.

"feeling really discouraged that I can't do more. does anyone know of a field medical training school?"

• You are doing so much. Much more than the rest of us. Keep up the good work. There is always more that can be done. XO

• Hey, don't get discouraged because you are doing way more than you may realize now. One day you will look back and be able to see how many lives you have touched. smile emoticon

  Joanne Sherman It is understandable that you are discouraged. Working incredibly long hours and facing horrific suffering. Cut yourself some slack and know that you are doing great work. I am so very proud of you and miss you.
