  1. Sorry about the mistakes in the above comment. The doctor is from Uganda and he’s operating a chicken farm. He said happiness is something you choose Guess he couldn’t choose happiness in helping sick people or maybe even helping them heal. He rather be happy being a chicken doctor. You don’t need any education for that. Maybe some common sense. Someone could teach you in a few days or you should be able to figure it out since he’s a doctor. He’s not telling the full story or I feel like he’s a looney. I’m sorry Africa are in need of doctors desperately. Since I’m retired I plan to come to Africa to share my skills for free in the many areas I’ve worked. It was go to Africa and help or get your masters degree. I choose to come to Africa to help my people.
