Hi! I’m not here to ask for money but your undivided attention! I’m finally getting together with Black Gamers Revolution to do my first streaming event, and I’m both nervous and excited because I want to do well and come out strong with new opportunities! I will be streaming Splatoon 2 along with a few other Nintendo games my first half will be with ranked and the other few will be with people who join me, followers and donators, alike! I hope I will be a good fun host and you guys come back for the duration of my streaming pals. Please, could you reblog, spread the word and speak health on my post to spread the words about Doctors Without Borders or known as Medecins sans Frontieres, it was founded back in May of 1968, by a group of young doctors that decided to go and help victims of wars and major disasters. “This new brand of humanitarianism would reinvent the concept of emergency aid. They were to become Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), known internationally in English as Doctors Without Borders.After the revolt of May '68 burst onto their black and white TV screens, the French public soon saw other, more frightening images. For the first time, television broadcasted scenes of children dying from hunger in remote corners of the world.In southern Nigeria, the province of Biafra had seceded. This minuscule territory was surrounded by the Nigerian army and the Biafran people were decimated by famine. The French Red Cross issued an appeal for volunteers.” Medics in emergencies For a number of years, Max Recamier and Pascal Greletty-Bosviel—volunteer doctors with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Geneva—had been regularly intervening in armed conflicts."Contrary to popular belief, the Red Cross is not a medical organization at all," says Max Recamier. "Pascal and myself were the only two doctors they knew because of our previous mission in Yemen, so they asked us to find some doctors for the ICRC. The first one to volunteer was Bernard Kouchner, who was much younger than I was; he was just finishing his studies and hadn't even finished his thesis yet, but he volunteered to go over there."A team of six set off on the ICRC mission to Biafra: two doctors—Max Recamier and Bernard Kouchner—as well as two clinicians and two nurses. Being thrown into such a bloody conflict was a real shock for these fledgling doctors, who found themselves having to provide war surgery in hospitals that were regularly targeted by the Nigerian armed forces.WitnessesRecamier and Kouchner believed the world needed to know about the events they were witnessing: civilians being murdered and starved by blockading forces. They openly criticized the Nigerian government and the Red Cross for their seemingly complicit behavior.In the following three years, other doctors began to speak up. These doctors, or "Biafrans," as they were known, began to lay the foundations for a new and questioning form of humanitarianism that would ignore political or religious boundaries, and prioritize the welfare of those suffering.

These young Doctors received the Nobel Peace Prize for their demonstrations of bravery, humanitarianism, and compassion.
I hope I can start my first official stream on a good leg and help those who are less fortunate than me...

It aims to build spaces of normalcy in the midst of what is abnormal.”
