I supported my wife in a United Nations Refugee Camp in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq. Here a young boy was brought to her who fell and tore his knee open. She stitched him up as his family watched. Had my wife not been there, his family would have glued or taped the wound. The nearest clinic is 45 minutes away thru a military checkpoint in the city and being refugees they would have to wait a long time to be seen. Our team with Kindness and compassion took care of him. When my wife was finished, the boys family took turns taking photos with my wife. Seeing their appreciation for the care the boy received and the love they showed toward us, makes you wonder why the governments there can't get along. Kindness always wins.
