Ch 3

In chapter three, Kidder ventures to Zanmi Lasante, found within a village in Cange. There, he observes the profound work of Dr. Paul Farmer. Farmer established a charity with a base in Boston that faciliates the funding for his medical expenditures in Haiti. Additionally, he receives drug donations, as well as public and private monetary donations. This chapter exemplifies the arduous work that Dr. Farmer undergoes for the sake of these impoverished peoples. In one instance, he states that he "feels ambivalent about selling my services in a world where some can't buy them." In essence, Farmer feels that the Haitians shouldn't pay for treatment. Moreover, the reading implicates that Farmer doesn't find it ethically correct to charge for services that these people obviously can't compensate for.
