"I can say honestly that I learn something every day. I am buoyed up by the resilience of my clients, yes, but more importantly, this work has changed me, profoundly and fundamentally. I’m no longer who I was when I started. One cannot peer into the inhumanity of torture day after day alongside the wounded as they heal and advocate for better care without it changing you in immeasurable ways. If that continues, I hope to stay for much longer."
