A big multi-national company with a mandate to help others

Many organisations make it their business to help others.

Even in the midst of their busy, hopefully prosperous operations, they choose to provide such valuable assistance.

I was inspired by this particular United States health and nutrition company, which spends time with giving others a fighting chance. Sometimes, even provide an existance in areas of the world where life is difficult, to put it mildly.

As the guy in the video says, medical aid for a constantly struggling country, such as Haiti with a population of up to 10 million, is made possible through various agencies working in partnership with this company.
But there seems to be endless procedures that have to be worked through, in order for people to even have access to basic health care.

Makes us very glad of where we live!

There are many other caring people and organisations, who devote their time and economic resources to make other people's lives more bearable.

This world would be a more difficult place without those people who are willing to take that time.

Medical care is essential in these areas, and if it wasn't for organisations that can pour revenue into aid work for these countries, it's hard to imagine how much worse those conditions could be.

It's good to celebrate people who are willing to go and help in these places and organisations that make it possible.

 

Have you had experience in providing aid in a struggling country?

 

We would love to hear and tell your story on our blog. It would inspire others for all sorts of things. :)

Leaving home at 12 to study sets Papis up for work with international company

Smile of success: West African businessman Papis Camara owes his success to his strong family connections and early education at a special military high school.

 

 

Papis Camara took his first steps at the tender age of 12 towards his current life as a successful businessman working for L’Oreal - a world leader in beauty.

The Senegal-born 34-year-old son of a judge, passed a gruelling test to study at a prestigious military high school, a long way from his beloved family and home.

He had hoped to study in Senegal but ended up in an exchange programme between two military groups, which saw him leave home at 12 and study at the school situated on the Ivory Coast.

“On average, around 2000 kids in Senegal take the test and only 60 pass it,” he says.

But Papis says the test sets children up for further study and provides the necessary discipline for life through its military-style programme.

“I have learned a lot from that experience and I believe I have become the man I am today from having attended this military high school.”

His mother, a retired midwife, did not find it easy to let her only son, the youngest of four, go off to school at such a young age but he points out, even back then, he wanted to learn from different cultures and build his life.

 

Family closeness: Papis taking time out with his mother Yacine Mane, a glorious 67-year-old.



“I was lucky to have such understanding parents, as visiting was not easy for them (parents) and three older sisters during that time, but nothing worthwhile comes easy,” Papis says.

The good-looking West African, who is now Key Account Manager for L’Oreal Professionnel, currently based between Manchester and London, says he was often a ‘model’ for his three sisters – Paris-based beauty business owner, Aminata, teacher, Deguene and mother, Fifi, when practising their cosmetics skills and calls it the, ‘chore to being the only guy in the family’.

He says he has always loved fashion and with his business and marketing skills from a business school in France, he became a good match for the international beauty organisation over nine years ago in Paris and in that time, he has held five positions - the current one for the past two months.

Family is important to Papis, after his father passed away in 2004, Papis now has his mother and numerous aunts and uncles left back home in Senegal.

He sees his job as overseeing his mother’s welfare, for the remainder of her life, whom he describes as, ‘the best mom on earth’.

“I want to become more, so that I can give (to the family) more. They are my reasons why,” he says.

Papis wants to keep inspiring, motivating and mentoring people.

On a personal note, he says he would love to share his successful life with someone and have a family some day.

From a life of making success happen for himself, his advice to anyone …

“Always believe in yourself. Because the first person to believe in you, should be yourself. Life is good and God is great!”
