British General Howe left his front lines lightly guarded by 2,000 Hessian German Soldiers and…
comfortable was most fulfilling. With that being said, the large part of my hospital volunteer experiences did not teach me about communication issues and isolation that patients face in their personal lives.

An accomplished civil engineer in the 70’s, Latheef Abdul Salam was the brains behind many of Chennai’s earliest buildings and bridges. Scattered over the walls were photographs, news clippings, and thank you notes highlighting his accomplishments, which left me in admiration and awe.
