My dad took me to the referral hospital in the Tanzania for my volunteering. My mom agreed with it because she thought it is a good experience for me as a future pediatrician. Citizen come from all over the country to get themselves and their kids treated at Muhimbili hospital. I was assigned the children 's department. Though it 's a big government hospital it lacked enough doctors. My job was to pass out the food to the kids in the cancer department. The school lunches that i once thought were gross looked better. All they had was rice with beans; no fruits, the head nurse said they didn 't have enough to pass around. Since most of the patients came from remote areas they couldn 't afford to buy simple stuff such as fruits. When i looked around most of the parents could not afford to buy the kids basic needs such as dipper, milk and something to distract their kids from the pain. That bothered me
