Intern Journal: Edward Doherty

Around 7 months ago I had to ask myself, why would I book a flight to somewhere 6,316 miles away, from home, to a place I’ve only seen on a map, a place I can’t even speak the language?

If I could go back and reply to my past self while I puzzled over the idea, this would be the answer to my question.

unnamedFor the view.

unnamed 1For the friendships.

unnamed 1For the family.

unnamed 1For the cute

unnamed 1…and the not so cute.

unnamed 1 For the young.

unnamed 1For the old.

unnamed 1For the conversation.

unnamed 1To learn something new.

unnamed 1To wait my turn.

unnamed 1The home improvements.

unnamed 1The gardening.

unnamed 1To get my hands dirty.

unnamed 1For the happy times

unnamed 1…and the sad.

unnamed 1For the alone time

unnamed 1…and the “you will never be alone” time.

unnamed 17For the “mum doesn’t have to go through this on her own” time.

MEDLIFE provides basic health care coverage, sustainable development projects and education to those in poverty. My photos are only a small insight into the lives of some of the most amazing, determined and friendliest people I have ever met. MEDLIFE’s work within these communities is worth flying 6,316 miles to be a part of.
