i FounD someone who shares a similar dream...

her name is Krisana Kraisintu.

she developed cheap drugs for AIDs patients, saving thousands upon thousands of lives...
developed drugs that were as much as 18 times cheaper....

and came up with cheap affordable drugs for diseases ranging from hypertension to diabetes, and Malaria.

Now because of her significant contribution, countries like Thailand has one of the world's leading public AID's treatment programm in the developing world, and with most poor patients getting free treatments... In addition, countries like Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam has benefitted from these drugs.

During the last 5 years, she devoted her time to Africa where she battled 2 major death causing diseases, AIDS and Malaria.

yea. One of my aims next time is to set up a drug company next time selling cheap cheap drugs to people who need it, so many can afford it... den maybe saving many many lives... I only told this to a few people... haha.

When I told my mum about this aim, she thought that it was not really viable...
then she saw an article on Krisana Kraisintu on the newspaper today, and cut it out for me...

yea, Krisana Kraisintu did it.
read about her over the internet... great example for General Paper...


den Dr. Paul Brand too... I read about him in Gift of Pain... a missionary doctor...

another really inspirational person. Maybe next time, i want to become a missionary doctor like Dr Paul Brand too.

I learned how he helped people with a pair of skilled hands, re-attaching ligaments of leprosy patients, helping them walk again by fixing their feet and giving them custom cushioned shoes so that their feet don't wear out due to painless and repeatative movments of walking...

These people changed their world.

I hope I can change mine...
