CSI: You are part of CSI’s slave liberation operations. What exactly do you do?

Simon Luel: I live and study in the city of Aweil, where I am completing a three-year training program in nursing. I deliberately moved here to support CSI’s work.

What is your job?

I help with the initial medical treatment of the freed returnees from the north.

How are the former slaves doing health-wise?

Many of them have either malaria or a lung infection. I am happy to be able to give them medication for their illnesses. In rather rare cases, I have to refer patients directly to the hospital in Aweil.

What is your personal goal?

My wish is to become a doctor to support my compatriots in this region.

Interview: Rolf Höneisen
