I am going to work along the large Nairobi´s slum where nearly all of my poor patients come from. Everyday routine with the blood affected by HIV, giving advices to my patients about the next steps in their treatment. Everybody knows, that patients taking medication for treating HIV infection must eat, if they don’t, their stomach cannot handle it. But most of them don´t have enough money to pay it. So they have to choose if they will eat and very soon die from AIDS or if they will buy expensive medicaments and die of starvation. I am making this decision with my patients every day and sometimes I feel really very sorry. On the way home. Diner.

This is really interesting week, thank you, Mr. doctor. Please, take my sympathy and sorrow with your mother...

Thank you, this is real hard life!

I am glad I saw your set.... thanks a lot!

I have a pleasure to welcome doctor Martin from Nairobi in our family Week of Life. I am pleased to see the first set from Africa and I would like to say that in this case the creative aspect of the photographs is not on the first place. I am glad to see that even if his life is not easy and is devoted to his patients affected by AIDS, he found a while and felt like to take photos of his week. Thank you, Adolf Zika and his team Week of Life.

I'm sorry for your mother.

Je mi ctí přivítat na WOL pana doktora Martina z Nairobi. Děkuji mnu touto cestou za první set z Afriky a rád bych na tomto místě řekl, že zde jde stranou veškeré výtvarno a případná fotografická exhibice a snad ani není vhodné hodnotit tyto pohledy. Jsem moc rád, že při starostech jaké mu život v Nairobi a práce s nemocnými AIDS přináší, si vůbec našel čas a náladu na vytvoření tohoto týdenního dokumentu. Děkuji. Adolf Zika a celý tým WOL

It must be difficult to face the everyday suffering of your patients. You are like an angel who is there to help people who don´t have a choice to live a better life and that´s the best thing a person can do.
