At Medix, We care

Happy birthday Raffikki…. May you see many many more……….:)

Rafikki’s story is quite amazing. He was a glue sniffer residing on the streets. He was addicted to a number of other substances as well. When we started renovating Medix Pharmacy, we asked him to help us break down the tiles and remove the rubble. Every day we would badger him to report to work. As time went by, Rafikki started reporting to work on his own. It has been a year now that he is off the streets. His mom and family are over the moon that he is now a changed man. He is now a productive member of society. He started caring for his mother, wife and child. He is now trying to get his friends off the streets as well. Many a times we look down upon street people or hobos..We belittle them and we make them feel lower than us. Did you ever stop to give these people a hearing? Did you ever stop to ask them about their lives or what caused them to take such drastic paths in life. Sometimes just by listening to someone else,showing them a bit of empathy can change a person’s life forever. Smile, be happy.. Wake up in the morning with a zest for life. Wake up wanting to do good. We can’t change the world over night all by ourselves..But we can make a start towards change one step at a time. Rafikki is a fine example of this and all of us at Medix pharmacy are proud to have him as a team member….
