J：Good afternoon. I’m Jennifer Wells and today on “Making a Difference”。

I'm going to talk to Dr Mary Murray who works for Médecins Sans Frontières。

Welcome Mary.
M: Thank you。

Jennifer.
J: Now please tell me why do you decide to join MSF。

M：Well, while I was studying in Sydney during the 1980s，I got to know two Sudanese students and visited them in 1990. I became good friends with their families and decided to work in a health clinic in their country in 1992 for a couple of months。

There I saw children with terrible diseases that could have been prevented。

That's why I decide to work in developing countries.
J: I see. So in 1997 you joined MSF and went to Malawi。

What did you do there？
M: Actually in Malawi I was working with children affected with HIV/AIDS. It was heart—breaking. Children died because we didn’t have enough medicines.
J：Oh，how sad！
M: Yes，but things gradually improved. Now there's treatment for HIV，which is showing very good results。

J: That’s excellent news. Then, in 2001 you went back to the Sudan again. Let’s talk about your work there。

M：Well, the conditions were very challenging. It could be unbelievably hot – sometimes as hot as 56 degrees Celsius! But when the rains came，the roads became so muddy that we spent most of our time digging the car out。

The clinics were just mud huts and the only tools I had were a stethoscope and my two hands。

J: Goodness, a challenge indeed!
M：（laughing) True, but it’s amazing what you can do whe n you have no choice.
J: And how do you think these experiences over the last few years have affected you?
M：Well，they make me grateful for what I have. I really enjoy my work because I feel I’m helping people who otherwise might not get help。

J: That’s great. Now，just before you go … what do you expect to be doing in the future?
M: Well, I’m returning to the Sudan in two weeks' time for a further six months。

Then I’m not sure. I hope to return to Africa again though。

J：Thank you, Dr Murray, and it's been lovely talking to you. We wish you all the best with your work.
M：Thank you，Jennifer.

What do you think, Jason?
J：Yeah，I like Mick’s idea too。

I’ll write it down。

Any more ideas？

J：What's that，Annie?
A：It's an organization that helps blind people in developing countries get their sight back.
J：That sounds good too。

M: Yes, I like it as well。

A：Great！
M：But what about supporting a couple of local charities as well?
J：You mean like The Cancer Council？

What about you, Annie?。
