No, that is an afterthought.<br>If I really have to choose, I think of the hospital in Papan\u00e9, where everything began 40 years ago. Where Hubi (Hubert) was the physician-director of the hospital. It is striking, the memorial stone with the photos of Hubi and Vinciane at the entrance to the hospital.

He visits the villages and teaches the inhabitants new crops that they sow together in a 'jardin communautaire', and how to maintain and harvest, including the correct ecological fertilization and irrigation. This way, they learn to eat healthier, besides the usual pates (porridge), which is filling but not nourishing. And then banana cultivation, how simple can it be, planting banana trees next to the showers and toilets, where it is moist. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>But there is also the village far away in the brousse on a barely passable dirt road. Three-year-old Zouerath has been saved from malnutrition thanks to the shelter at H&amp;V's hospital. The girl in a beautifully festive pink dress doesn't know what hit her, all that attention, that cuddling. Thanks to Constant, Hubi &amp; Vinciane\u2019s social worker, who regularly visits all those villages, he gets information from a few women about where things go wrong.
