Это невозможно и мне это нравится | Виктория Валикова | TEDxSadovoeRing

Но что, если вместо слов благодарности люди, которым вы помогаете, попытаются вас обмануть, унизить или ограбить? Как после этого найти в себе силы продолжать делать добрые дела? А главное, как ответить себе на вопрос — “Зачем я это делаю?”.

В своем выступлении на TEDxSadovoeRing Виктория Валикова рассказывает о том, что помогает ей не сойти с выбранного пути и почему так важно продолжать помогать людям не разделяя их на “плохих” и “хороших”. Виктория Валикова – врач-инфекционист из Уфы, тропиколог, уже много лет занимается организацией здравоохранения в странах с ограниченными ресурсами. Свое призвание Виктория нашла в джунглях Латинской Америки, где строится уже вторая клиника ее благотворительной организации Health
