Project Making an action planReading1.At the beginning of this class, let’s watch a video. From it, we know that when a nation is in trouble, the people all over the world will give a hand. And we also know that when a destructive disaster happens, medical aid is especially important to the injured people.Today we’ll read a diary entry of a nurse who works for an international organization that provides medical service around the world. After that, I’m sure you’ll have a better understanding about what can be done to help poor people in poor areas.2. Pair work: Have a discussion about the following questions:Have you ever heard of an organization called MSF?What does MSF stand for?What does it mean in English?Who do you think the members of MSF are?For referenceAbout MSF:The MSF role in emergency medical aidMédecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an internationalhumanitarian aid organization that providesemergency medical assistance to populations indanger in more than 70 countries.In countries where health structures areinsufficient or even non-existent, MSF collaborateswith authorities such as the Ministry of Health to provide assistance. MSF works in rehabilitation of hospitals and dispensaries, vaccination programmes and water and sanitation projects. MSF also works in remote health care centres, slum areas andprovides training of local personnel. All this is done with the objective of rebuildinghealth structures to acceptable levels.Raising AwarenessIn carrying out humanitarian assistance, MSF seeks also to raise awareness of crisis situations; MSF acts as a witness and will speak out, either in private or in publicabout the plight of populations in danger for whom MSF works. In doing so, MSFsets out to alleviate human suffering, to protect life and health and to restore andensure respect for the human beings and their fundamental human rights.Only a small percentage of the populations that find themselves in a situation ofdanger gain the attention of the media. MSF teams travel to places that many peoplehave never heard of, to assist those who have fallen victim to natural or man-made disasters. MSF volunteers have a story to tell when they return from their missions,and they use their experiences to speak of what they have seen. For MSF, raising awareness for these populations and the situations they are in is an important task. Whenever possible, MSF volunteers give interviews and make presentations. MSFoffices worldwide facilitate the organization of gatherings, for individuals and groupswho want to speak in their home communities. MSF also mounts exhibitions and,from time to time, releases publications, with the aim of raising awareness.It is part of MSF's work to address anyviolations of basic human rights encountered byfield teams, violations perpetrated or sustained bypolitical actors. It does so by confronting theresponsible actors themselves, by putting pressureon them through mobilization of the internationalcommunity and by issuing information publicly. Inorder to prevent compromise or manipulation ofMSF's relief activities, MSF maintains neutralityand independence from individual governments. The organization also tries to ensurethat the majority of funds raised for its work comes directly from contributions fromthe general public. In this way, MSF guarantees equal access to its humanitarian assistance.MSF has been setting up emergency medical aid missions around the world since1971.3.
