It began as a dream inspired by Albert Schweitzer and his humanitarian work in Gabon. As a 2000-2001 New York City Albert Schweitzer Fellow, I was introduced to the legacy of Albert Schweitzer and how his efforts helped build a hospital in Gabon. My Schweitzer Fellowship Project involved helping the disabled community in New York City to live their lives to the fullest. Working in conjunction with H.A.I. (Hospital Audiences Inc.) and experimenting with some of my own ideas, we were able to make a small contribution to the livelihood of individuals with disabilities. My involvement with the Schweitzer Fellowship served as a great learning experience as I realized that not all ideas and dreams manifest smoothly in reality. It actually takes perseverance and a solid foundation in order to build upon one's hope and desire. With that lesson learned, I began to set my sights on doing something that involves helping the disabled in developing countries.
