Le Dr Parker a montr\u00e9 aux gens pr\u00e9sents une photo de la tumeur qui avait failli co\u00fbter la vie \u00e0 Hawa. Il n&rsquo;a cependant pas eu besoin de montrer une photo \u00ab\u00a0apr\u00e8s\u00a0\u00bb.

Nous parlons beaucoup de l&rsquo;impact du travail r\u00e9alis\u00e9, mais la voir ici vous montre vraiment les r\u00e9sultats. C&rsquo;est la raison pour laquelle je reviens toujours en tant que b\u00e9n\u00e9vole, ajoute-t-elle\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Au cours de sa visite sur le Global Mercy, Hawa a rencontr\u00e9 un autre visage familier : celui de Cl\u00e9mentine Tengue, qui l&rsquo;a accueillie en la serrant affectueusement dans ses bras. Cl\u00e9mentine, qui travaille au service d&rsquo;aum\u00f4nerie de l&rsquo;h\u00f4pital, se souvient bien d&rsquo;Hawa et de son p\u00e8re. \u00ab\u00a0J&rsquo;\u00e9tais l\u00e0 quand Hawa et son p\u00e8re sont mont\u00e9s \u00e0 bord de l&rsquo;Africa Mercy. Je les ai accompagn\u00e9s tout au long du processus\u00a0\u00bb, dit-elle. \u00ab\u00a0C&rsquo;est la d\u00e9finition de l&rsquo;espoir : elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 op\u00e9r\u00e9e et veut maintenant aider les gens en devenant infirmi\u00e8re\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Pour Hawa, l&rsquo;accueil \u00e0 bord \u00e9tait profond\u00e9ment chaleureux. \u00ab\u00a0La fa\u00e7on dont ils m&rsquo;ont exprim\u00e9 leur amour m&rsquo;a rappel\u00e9 ce qui s&rsquo;\u00e9tait pass\u00e9 lorsque j&rsquo;\u00e9tais enfant sur l&rsquo;<em>Africa Mercy<\/em>. Ils m&rsquo;ont montr\u00e9 de l&rsquo;amour, puis ils ont pris soin de moi\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regardez-moi maintenant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aujourd&rsquo;hui, \u00e0 23 ans, Hawa consid\u00e8re son op\u00e9ration sur Mercy Ships comme un tournant essentiel de sa vie.<\/p>\n<p>Une fois sa tumeur enlev\u00e9e, elle n&rsquo;\u00e9tait plus isol\u00e9e au sein de son village.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Quand je suis rentr\u00e9e chez moi, tout le monde m&rsquo;entourait, tout le monde se r\u00e9jouissait pour moi et avec moi\u00a0\u00bb, souligne-elle.<\/p>\n<p>Mais Hawa est consciente que ce n&rsquo;est pas seulement sa qualit\u00e9 de vie qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 transform\u00e9e. C&rsquo;est sa vie tout enti\u00e8re qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 sauv\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Si je n&rsquo;avais pas \u00e9t\u00e9 op\u00e9r\u00e9e, je pense que je ne serais plus l\u00e0\u00a0\u00bb, dit-elle.<\/p>\n<p>Hawa travaille maintenant avec acharnement pour devenir infirmi\u00e8re. Certains jours, elle se l\u00e8ve \u00e0 2 heures du matin pour \u00e9tudier, puis se rend au bus \u00e0 5 heures.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0C&rsquo;est ce qui m&rsquo;a pouss\u00e9e \u00e0 devenir infirmi\u00e8re, je voulais moi aussi sauver des vies\u00a0\u00bb, explique-elle.<\/p>\n<p>Hawa nourrit un autre r\u00eave : celui de servir un jour comme infirmi\u00e8re \u00e0 bord d&rsquo;un navire-h\u00f4pital de Mercy Ships, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s du Dr Gary Parker et des autres personnes qui lui ont sauv\u00e9 la vie.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Un jour, je raconterai ma vie aux gens\u00a0\u00bb, dit-elle. \u00ab\u00a0De la maladie \u00e0 aujourd&rsquo;hui. C&rsquo;est mon r\u00eave.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>En attendant, elle se r\u00e9jouit que le <em>Global Mercy<\/em> soit en Sierra Leone pour aider d&rsquo;autres personnes. Si quelqu&rsquo;un perd espoir, comme elle l&rsquo;a perdu, Hawa est certaine qu&rsquo;il le retrouvera.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Que personne n&rsquo;ait honte de quoi que ce soit\u00a0\u00bb, dit-elle. \u00ab\u00a0Qu&rsquo;ils sortent pour se montrer, pour obtenir de l&rsquo;aide\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Apr\u00e8s tout\u00a0\u00bb, dit Hawa, \u00ab\u00a0je suis la preuve vivante que l&rsquo;espoir n&rsquo;est jamais perdu : il suffit de me regarder maintenant\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div
