In Indonesia, we uncovered an inspiring tale about a doctor who combines his commitment to saving the environment by providing free health care. “You are wrong if you think this is just a bottle. This bottle can save your life,” says Dr. Yusuf Nugraha, also known as Dr. Plastic from Cianjur, Indonesia. “I really understand the suffering in Indonesia. We live in poverty.” Seeing the poor economic condition of residents of the town, the young doctor Yusuf Nugraha was inspired to establish independent clinics supporting several programs which are opening their doors to treat the not so well-off population when sick. Dr. Nugraha wanted to be a doctor form a very young age. He had to wok to afford his education, so he sold rice. This is why he can now combine one program to yield two benefits. He is helping poor patients by giving free health care and at the same time he helps society by teaching people the importance of collecting <a href="https://rumble.com/v3890z-nigerian-women-crochet-bags-from-plastic-waste.html" target="_blank">plastic waste</a>. He developed his free program in order to protect his community’s dignity because people tend to get offended when they are offered things for free. “Why plastic bottles? Because I want people to understand and be aware of the dangers of plastic. Most Indonesians are not informed. It takes ages to decompose,” Dr. Nugraha adds. They store the collected plastic in a warehouse in the hope to recycle it and reduce its negative effect on nature. They managed to collect 180,000 <a href="https://rumble.com/v3eux9-how-to-upcycle-plastic-bottles-into-self-watering-plant-holders.html" target="_blank">plastic bottles</a> in the last three years. “I hope that in the future Indonesia will be able to provide better health care and I hope to see a change in people’s behavior. For all these reasons, I am determined to be an agent of that change and create a better living environment.”

Pablo Pineda is an actor and teacher and also an embodiment of strength, wit and intelligence. And today, on World Down Syndrome Day, who better than him to be our Local Hero? “Look at me, do I look sick to you? It is not a disease. It is a characteristic of the human being. It is a matter of chromosomes, like the one that makes your hair blond or brown. One day I was walking around Malaga, I was going to cross the street, and an old woman walking with a stick in a worse condition than me took my arm and helped me cross the street. The world has gone upside down! Al of a sudden two young guys came to me and told me: ‘Pablo, we want you to be an actor.’ And I went: ‘What?! Are you kidding?” In the beginning, I said no, I did not study dramatic arts. But slowly they convinced me, telling me one oof the directors had a sister with Down syndrome. And Hulio Medem, the producer, had a daughter with Down syndrome. So, I said yes. But I made it very clear I wouldn’t do anything against the DS community. This world seems to be made for one type of man. Usually for the good looking ones, even better with money. That is how things work. But am I going to give up? No. I worked in Malaga City Hall, then I was in the movie, I present a TV show, I have written two books, I just never stop doing things. Let’s open our eyes and look at the problem from a different perspective and allow those with <a href="https://rumble.com/v3njnx-student-with-down-syndrome-gets-accepted-to-college.html" target="_blank">Down syndrome</a> to work. My message to parents of children with DS is at the same time easy and very difficult: Think of them as your child, not as someone with a disability. A child that you need to educate, not a <a href="https://rumble.com/v3211e-motivation-a-disabled-person-built-up-a-fireplace-himself.html" target="_blank">disabled person</a> you have to take care of. It is very different. You don’t suffer from Down syndrome, you enjoy it.”
