as a nurse while using her artistic talents to help people to understand the
functioning of their body, to learn about health issues and to have a better
grasp of their surroundings. In
Chad she has formed a team of midwifes, simple women, who are ready to help
other women. For their formation she did many drawings to illustrate the
