After reading the second chapter of "Mountains Beyond Mountains", I found out that Dr. Farmer is more than just a helper in Haiti. Farmer likes to have fun in his work environment, even though his job is very busy. It’s also a handful at times but he maintains an upbeat attitude. In my opinion I find this challenging to do. When I’m busy dealing with something very important I tend to get grouchy when people ask me for help, and interrupt me in my train of thought. He is also very passionate about helping other people. With the requirement of doing community service to graduate students just find the easiest way to earn hours. Farmer has the spirit to help when no one admires, and in my opinion that’s the best type of person.
After reading the third chapter of "Mountains Beyond Mountains", I found out that Zanmi Lasante is “in fact one of the poorest parts of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.”(pg.20) I find this interesting because Farmer is aiding it with a small public charity in Boston. I also find this appealing because even though he only has a little aid to help out the area he is still making a difference.
