8 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2008 Chapel Hill nurse shares Congo experience BY ROSE ANNA LAUDICINA STAFF WRITER Anna Freeman returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo just a few months before extreme conflict erupted in the North Kivu province. This violence was a stark contrast to when she first arrived on Jan. 6. Soon after her arrival, major militia groups signed a peace treaty. Freeman, 26, a Chapel Hill native, worked six days a week as a nurse for Doctors Without Borders at a hospi tal in Rutshuru, a town outside the capital of the North Kivu province. Freeman shared both the high lights and the difficulties of her six months as a nurse to a room filled to capacity at Chapel Hill Institute for Cultural and Language Education in Carrboro. “The disparity between the U.S. and Congo was very frustrating to see,” Freeman said. “Coming back was harder than going.” During the time of the treaty, Freeman said the hospital saw five ‘-i ToPlawaLineClassifiedAdUraonto aSiiffJSa ww diW,Mfc.el.coni/r t • Not be pregnant or trying to get pregnant '# • V iiW J • Not have started or stopped a form of hormonal > and Jl‘‘ .

Now she esti mates they see at least 70. On Sundays, her day off, Freeman said she slept all day because her work was so exhausting. “Now that I know more about Congo, I really think that something needs to be done,” said Jenna Price, a junior biology major. “I would like to be more active in trying to get in touch with our government about helping out in Congo.” When she returned to the U.S., Freeman went into an expensive clothing store with her sister. The experience made her realize every thing she took for granted, she said. “I walked in the store and just started crying,” Freeman said, add ing that she couldn’t believe people would pay so much for one item. Though she’d always wanted to do it, Freeman said she also found the program frustrating. “One of the more frustrating things I saw were preventable inju Place a Classified: wvuw.dailytarheel.com/classifieds or Call 919-962-0252 Child Care Wanted AFTERSCHOOL CHILD CARE: Seek ing Spring semester (January thru May) babysitter for a SUPER 2nd grade daughter, M-F 2:45-spm, in our Chapel Hill home!

The Congo also faces diseases that are nonexistent in the U.S. today because of vaccines. Freeman said she wasn’t trained to treat measles because it would never be seen in the U.S. “The first time I saw a kid die in the measles tent I started yelling,” Freeman said. “I was so frustrated that they died from something that was so easily prevented in the United States.” Since the outbreak of fighting, the hospital where Freeman worked has been evacuated of all doctors and many of the staff have fled. “I would love to go back to the Congo now and help,” she said. “I really wish I could.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.
