One of the entries in the “help others” category just stood out. Here it is;
I’m a RN in rural Africa, Ghana to be precise. The doctor-patient ratio here is anything but encouraging. For that reason, the government has contracted Cuban doctors to close this yawning ratio. The problem is that most of these doctors don’t speak any good English. As a local, I’ve been tasked with a translator’s role in addition to my primary role as a nurse. I must admit that Synergy Spanish has helped me immensely in managing basic communication with these doctors. I am fervently looking forward to receiving this package. I strongly believe that it will go a long way to save more lives since a misinterpretation in health has dire consequences.
Gracias y saludos
This category was full of altruistic people doing wonderful things. However, I just couldn’t look past the possibility of lives saved.
Felicidades Ishak
I’ll announce the winner of the “help yourself” category early next week.
Wonderful choice Marcus, congratulations to the RN. I am also thrilled that your choice highlights the excellent work done by Cuban health professionals in many areas of need throughout the world. This is so under-reported. I use my Synergy Spanish to support my work with Cuban health professionals in Cuba supporting people with autism.

What a fantastic job this nurse is doing, “CONGRATULATIONS” , if it wasn’t for your courses this would have been impossible, God Bless the nurse for helping and saving lives. And a big “Thank You” for your wonderful courses Sir Marcus.

Congratulations to the winner! You’ve certainly made the right choice, Marcus.
What a great choice! May the LORD’s blessing rest upon both the RN & you!
I concur with all of you. All the best to the RN in Ghana.
Congratulations to the winner!!! but this just amplifies some of the reasons I pointed out for needing to have Spanish taught here in Los Angeles at the adult schools, libraries, and Churches. We English only speaking individuals with economic difficulties must rely on the efforts of the Spanish speaking individuals in order to have relationships with them. Spanish to English is taught at all free levels here in the United States: adult Schools, libraries, and Churches. I can bet that the Cuban doctors all had English lessons available to them while maturing in their country. This is just not so for people with economic difficulties that need and desire English to Spanish…………Jerry
Good choice.
I am so happy that there is help for a nurse in Ghana – many years ago I lived in Ghana for two years – the people there are very friendly but indeed very poor. My husband was there as an expatriate and we did help one of the local schools that needed tables and chairs for their students.
What an awesome choice! So exciting to think of the possibilities of international cooperation in Ghana and the lives saved. Thank you Marcus!
This is a marvelous choice. Kudos to you Marcus– that your language learning service is so valued and can bring such potential for good in the world.
My congratulations to a person who took on a role DUE to Synergy Spanish and who with this additional help will be in a better position to ensure proper medical care to those who require it. Una vez más, felicitaciones al ganador más merecedor

I agree with the comments. Well done and good luck to the Nurse who is helping so many people. It is wonderful to hear that there are caring people around.
I agree with the other two comments. You made a choice that helps other people- I learn Spanish just for myself, just to get my life more interesting in a foreing country
during wintertime.
