Speaking to IGIHE, Akimana Ebe explains how he executes this responsibility, when he started as well as where he gets resources to support patients who are in need of help.
He said that he helps patients without any people to help them. Akimana baths them, shaving them, and buy medicines, soaps, tooth paste as well as giving them clothing among other services.
The act of caring for the needy patients started when he was still in Burundi, where he developed dysentery with 30 other patients.
Akimana recovered while the 30 others died, thus he told all Might that he will be helping others who are suffering, as well as the needy.
Ebe says that he has spent 19 years doing this activity, caring for the patients who are under intensive care, others shunned by all the people, as well as not waiting to be in touch with those who are terribly ill, this gives him, as he says, an extraordinary power which enables him to fulfill this rare spiritual calling, which in turn enables him to do this services.
“God is the one who helps, without Jesus I can’t manage it, I know that Jesus Christ is the doctor for people and souls, and whenever you dedicate yourself to him, God also dedicates himself for you”.
Ebe says that he uses gloves, because of some infectious diseases, and he also puts on some device that covers his nose to not be contaminated, as well as putting on on clothes that protects him from dust, but says that “all these cannot protect me without God.”
