Chapter 10

In this chapter, it talks about Paul Farmer's planting of seeds throughout Cange. The reason it is so green today is because of the seeds he has been planting throughout the land. It shows that Farmer is still flawed and human because he has emotions and they affected him. Farmer thought of an organization that would support the growing health in Cange, and in 1987, that idea was made true with the help of Tom White. The organization was called Partners In Health and another organization was made called Zanmi Lasante. The plans were being fulfilled by Paul, Ophelia, Jim, and Tom White. Although one of the partners in helping Cange, Jim called the people "soon to be dead" people. One day, Farmer was running some errands and got in an accident, he got hit by a car and shattered his knee, he went all the way to Massachusetts to get it repaired. With the injury he has, having go stay home due to his knee, Farner grows impatient. Ophelia nurses him while he is on his road to recovery but always tries to go back to work. He is pushing her away by his urges to keep working even though he has a cast. She feels hurt everytime he does this so slowly she loses feelings. On the day he proposes to her, the decision was tough because she still loved him but hard to say yes, she just him because she couldn't handle the he wanted to live.
