For 21 years,Georges Bwelle watched his ill father traveling to hospitals,which could not offer him all necessary help.
Jamef Bwelle suffered only a broken arm at first,but it finally developed into a hematoma. That would affect him for the rest of his life. Bwelle spent years taking his father to overcrowded hospitals.
It was not easy. They would leave home at 5 am and ran to the hospital to be the first. There were a lot of patients. Some people could die because they were waiting.
The situation hasn’t changed much since Bwelle’s father died in 2002.
In Cameroon,there is only one doctor for every 5,000 people while in the United States there is one doctor for every 413 people. And even if they could see a doctor,many Cameroonians couldn’t afford it.
When he saw his father and so many of his countrymen suffer,Bwelle decided to do something about it.
He became a doctor himself. And he started an organization,ASCOVIME. It travels into the countryside on weekends to provide free medical care. Since 2008,he and his group of volunteers have helped nearly 32,000 people.
Almost every Friday,his team jam into vans and travel to villages in need. In each trip they receive 500 people. Patients come on foot from 60 kilometers around the village for free treatment.
The next morning,the team begins meeting with hundreds of patients. They provide different kinds of medical care and even offer crutches and eyeglasses to those in need.
In the evenings,the team will do simple operations in a schoolhouse,town hall or home,and work into the early house of Sunday morning.
On Sunday,the team heads back to the city,tired but proud of their work. They know that their help can make a world of difference to those they help.
