These “little doctors” are actually street children who are living at a shelter run by a humanitarian organization. Even with their broken past, these children were the most inspiring and uplifting people I have ever met. The hardest part of working with them was having to say goodbye when our project was finished. — Melissa Chan, medical student, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ont.
