Medical care is a basic human right, and making it accessible for all is essential.

Response from HYCF
So far one of the smartest volunteer I have ever hosted. If you want some one who is open minded, hard working and humble get to know octavi, he is very quick to adapt to the culture and well connecting with the local people. Octavi was a freind to everyone in our family. When I asked the District health officer about Octavi's experience they told me he has really assisted the hospital in the psychology department and he is always on time when it comes to work. He always suggested ideas in what areas and how the hospital can improve. I recommend Octavi to everyone who needs to interact with a smart person. There's so much you can learn from him. The world needs more people like Octavi. I wish you success in all your endeavours bro. hope to See you somewhere again.
