Before I came here, I once worked as an nurse in the areas, such as Sudan and Kenya, where there was no enough water. there, we usually helped people ,babies or children by setting up feeding centers, checking the health of babies or injection of vaccination to children. , the life there was full of fighting and we had to look out for bullets and from time to time moved from one place to another.
However, things are entirely here. The problem people meet here is not the lack of water but the mud and water everywhere.. It is not _________for people to travel from place to place. The water makes it hard for the cuts and wounds to heal and the fields and harvests, _________the problem of people’s malnutrition. Sometimes, when food came, people fight with each other to get it. Luckily, I can communicate with the people with the help of my good skills
