I am female. I was born and raised in Ethiopia. I grew up hearing the horror stories of forced marriage, its despicable consequences, and Dr. Hamlin’s effort to help this man-made tragedy. Currently, I live in the USA. I am in the healthcare field, and Dr. Hamlin is one of the reasons why I decided to volunteer with mission trips and pursue higher education so that I can make even a greater impact. Thank you for showing us what it means to live a selfless yet meaningful life. You will always be my hero!!!
