From those words Norma was inspired to join the Peace Corps and she
subsequently found herself in Afghanistan for 2 ½ years working as a
vaccination instructor and later as a nurse. Since then she has had a wonderful
career in many fields of acute nursing. She is now a surgical assistant for heart
surgeons, orthopedics, and most other surgical fields. After working 60+ hours
per week, she teaches “spinning” classes at a local gym, hikes, tackles frequent
distance rides on her road bike, does the house and yard, cook’s gourmet food
and reads. Her two sons are busy developing their careers, and her husband is
a urologist who also has a deep appreciation and respect for the Afghan people.
Since the Taliban were driven out of power two years ago, she was eager to see
what she could do again for the Afghan people. During her three recent trips she
has helped at the KartiChar Orphanage and also at the Aliabad Hospital making
a difference and “passing it on”. |
