My Typical Day

My day starts with a quick check of my emails. At around 8.00, I start seeing patients in our special clinic and later on in the evening, I start doing my private studies..

What I'd do with the money

To develop a list of 100 of ‘How-To’ series with clever hints for both everyday and emergency situations. e.g “How to help someone who has had a fratured bone at home”, “How to make a water filter at home” or How to climb a coconut tree safely!!! We shall aim to distribute them inside match boxes as inserts, to almost everyhome free.
