UNCEF press con [Miriam Yeung]
Sunday, November 23, 2008
Miriam and Astrid Chan went to Qinghai to visit the women and children there. They attended a press con to share their experience and when interview clips were shown, they were not only crying in the clips but also nearly cried as they were watching the clips.
Miriam could all along control her emotions and rarely cried during interviews but this time when she saw Astrid who's also a mother, cried out, she also couldn't help but cried. She knows having a child is not a simple thing and understands her mum's care and concern for her. Miriam said the people's medical knowledge there is not enough but they only stayed 6 days for this trip and could only teach them simple knowledge. For example she taught a villager with Muscle atrophy to massage her muscles often to prevent them from Muscle necrosis. Astrid also praised Miriam for displaying her medical knowledge is this trip, and looked like she had a nurse hat on her head. Miriam said this trip made her feel deeply the parents' hardships. She said Astrid had told her to have babies while she's still young but Miriam said she doesn't have time. Now she'll help others first. Her ex-assistant who's married in Africa had called her to say she's going to have a baby and Miriam taught her how to deal with it. When she was learning to deliver a child when she was in nursing school, she was being slapped by a pregnant woman who was in pain and lost control.Credits: Thousand Island Singapore - Miriam's News
