25. An unlikely superhero

For the last 35 years, Pratima has been working as a community health volunteer, educating her community on good health practices, delivering vaccinations and health checks. She views her job with pride and she is well respected in her community but it was not always like this. When Pratima first started, people did not welcome her, they would shut the door in her face or hide in their homes when she came to deliver health checks.
