Volunteer nurse from France

[Guest guest]

Hello ALL,

I'd just like to introduce myself and tell the reason why I'd like to

participate on this forum.

I am a nurse, 50 years old and qualified in France in 1995.

If I've started nursing in 1992, the main reason was my interest in HIV-

patients and ever since I worked a lot -and still do- on infectious

disease wards (where AIDS is treated in France) and also with drug

addicts and prostitutes.

Concerning India I travel to the country since 1979. In 1996 I went to

Calcutta and worked as a head-nurse in a street clinic for Calcutta

Rescue (NGO created by Dr Jack Preger). Ever since I also did a Tropical

Medicine Course in Paris.

I'm planning to go back to India in January 2005 and I am looking for

local NGOs working with HIV-patients or AIDS-prevention who are

interested to have me as a nurse working with them for a while. I can

work on a voluntary basis, at the same time getting a local salary could

help to stay longer.

I unfortunately do not speak any Indian languages, but my English is

full. I'd be pleased to get help and information to find a place in an Indian

NGO and be able to get involved directly in Aids-Work in India.

Thanks to you and all,

Mokka
