Creating a Legacy of Hope: Dr. Abraham George on Educating India’s Underrepresented | EP 550

Yes, certainly. During my stay up there, I was alone as an officer and I used to climb one of those little hills up there. Already we were 14,000 and I would sit there only because I could see the sky below me. The clouds were floating below me, and it was absolutely magnificent to sit up there in endless range of mountains and valleys.

And while the blasting of the rocks were going on down below, I would occasionally go and guide them and check. But then I didn't have much to do other than wait for them to complete the blasting.

But after a while, I didn't find sufficient purpose to what I was doing. And that was the time I read one important book by Albert Schweitzer. He's a German and he won an Nobel Prize later and he went in a river boat. It's a small camp. It wasn't even a boat, a canoe. And he reached Gabon, Africa. And he lived with the tribals. He established a hospital. He treated the patients there.
