CUTV News Radio Spotlights Carol Head

Albuquerque NM -  ?Carol Head is a registered nurse and volunteer for under privileged communities in rural Ghana.

“Nursing has handed me a tremendous amount of opportunities,” says Carol.  “Mainly I have had the magnificent chance to travel the world as a result of working in Saudi Arabia and it has been immensely gratifying.”

For many years Carol’s mother was a well- regarded nursing oncologist and her chief source of inspiration.  Presently she has been doing Interim Management in maternal child care and volunteering with a non- for profit organization  the V.I.L.L.A.G.E.  Projects in Ghana working with the Medical Centre, a woman’s empowerment group and Becky’s Foundation which provides an orphanage and school in the village of Senya- Baraku in the Volta Area of Ghana.

““In Ghana there are little villages made of dirt roads, no running water or even washing machines, people clean their clothes by hand and hang them out to dry.  Most of us from the United States would consider them deprived and impoverished but truthfully they seem happier than we are because they live in such close- knit communities while here we are regrettably more disconnected,” says Carol.

If you choose nursing as a career and your heart is not empathetic and altruistic then it’s not your calling.

“We should embrace all people as expressions of God,” says Carol.  “I wholeheartedly believe there is good in everyone and we can have a world of peace, prosperity and unconditional love for all. I don’t understand why people can’t simply respect one another’s opinion. We can agree to disagree and if we don’t get along we don’t have to disparage each other.  Simply try to live by example and we will have outstanding coherence and tranquility.
