Alberto Cairo: There are no scraps of men

Translator: Laura T. Reviewer: Līga Greiškāne

I've been in Afghanistan for 21 years.

Esmu Afganistānā jau 21 gadu.

I work for the Red Cross

Es strādāju Sarkanajā Krustā

and I'm a physical therapist.

un esmu fizikālais terapeits.

My job is to make arms and legs --

Mans darbs ir izgatavot rokas un kājas,

well it's not completely true.

labi, tā nav pilnīga taisnība.

We do more than that.

Mēs darām ne tikai to.

We provide the patients,

Mēs nodrošinām pacientiem,

the Afghan disabled,

afgāņu invalīdiem,

first with the physical rehabilitation

pirmkārt, fizikālo rehabilitāciju,

then with the social reintegration.

tad iekļaušanos atpakaļ sabiedrībā.

It's a very logical plan,

Tas ir ļoti loģisks plāns,

but it was not always like this.

taču tas ne vienmēr tāds ir bijis

For many years, we were just providing them

Daudzus gadus mēs viņus apgādājām tikai

with artificial limbs.

ar protēzēm.

It took quite many years

Tas prasīja programmai diezgan daudzus gadus,

for the program to become what it is now.

lai tā kļūtu tāda, kāda tā ir pašlaik.

Today, I would like to tell you a story,

Šodien es vēlētos jums pastāstīt stāstu,

the story of a big change,

stāstu par lielām pārmaiņām

and the story of the people

un stāstu par cilvēkiem,

who made this change possible.

kas padarīja šīs pārmaiņas iespējamas.

I arrived in Afghanistan

Es ierados Afganistānā

in 1990

1990. gadā,

to work in a hospital

lai strādātu slimnīcā

for war victims.

karā cietušajiem.

And then, not only for war victims,

Un tad, ne tikai karā cietušajiem,

but it was for any kind of patient.

bet tā bija visu veidu pacientiem.

I was also working

Es arī strādāju

in the orthopedic center, we call it.

ortopēdiskajā centrā, kā mēs to saucām.

This is the place where we make the legs.

Tā ir vieta, kur mēs izgatavojam kājas.

At that time

Tajā laikā

I found myself

es atrados

in a strange situation.

savādā situācijā.

I felt not quite ready

Es nebiju īsti gatavs

for that job.

šādam darbam.

There was so much to learn.

Bija tik daudz, ko mācīties.

There were so many things new to me.

Daudz kas man bija jauns.

But it was a terrific job.

Taču tas bija lielisks darbs.

But as soon as the fighting intensified,

Taču tiklīdz karadarbība pastiprinājās,

the physical rehabilitation was suspended.

fizikālā rehabilitācija tika atlikta.

There were many other things to do.

Bija daudz citu darāmu lietu.

So the orthopedic center was closed

Ortopēdisko centru slēdza,

because physical rehabilitation

jo fizikālā rehabilitācija

was not considered a priority.

netika uzskatīta par prioritāti.

It was a strange sensation.

Tā bija savāda jutoņa.

Anyway, you know every time I make this speech --

Lai nu kā, katru reizi, kad es saku šo runu,

it's not the first time -- but it's an emotion.

šī nav pirmā reize, bet tas ir saviļņojums.

It's something that comes out from the past.

Tas ir kaut kas, kas uzrodas no pagātnes.

It's 21 years,

Tas ir 21 gads,

but they are still all there.

taču tie vēl joprojām ir tepat.

Anyway, in 1992,

Lai nu kā, 1992. gadā

the Mujahideen took all Afghanistan.

modžahedi pārņēma visu Afganistānu.

And the orthopedic center was closed.

Un ortopēdisko centru slēdza.

I was assigned to work for the homeless,

Es tiku norīkots strādāt ar bezpajumtniekiem,

for the internally displaced people.

garīgi slimiem cilvēkiem.

But one day, something happened.

Taču kādu dienu kas atgadījās.

I was coming back

Es atgriezos

from a big food distribution in a mosque

no lielas pārtikas izdales mošejā,

where tens and tens of people

kur desmitiem cilvēku

were squatting in terrible conditions.

bija saspiesti šausmīgos apstākļos.

I wanted to go home. I was driving.

Es gribēju doties mājās. Es braucu.

You know, when you want to forget,

Zināt, kad jūs vēlaties aizmirst,

you don't want to see things,

jūs nevēlaties redzēt lietas,

so you just want to go to your room, to lock yourself inside

jūs tikai gribat doties uz savu istabu, ieslēgties tajā

and say, "That's enough."

un sacīt, "Man pietiek."

A bomb fell not far from my car --

Netālu no manas mašīnas nokrita rokas granāta,

well, far enough, but big noise.

labi, patālu, taču troksnis bija pamatīgs.

And everybody disappeared from the street.

Un visi pazuda no ielas.

The cars disappeared as well.

Arī mašīnas pazuda.

I ducked.

Es sarāvos.

And only one figure

Un ceļa vidū

remained in the middle of the road.

palika tikai viens cilvēks.

It was a man in a wheelchair

Tas bija vīrietis ratiņkrēslā,

desperately trying to move away.

izmisīgi cenšoties pazust.

Well I'm not a particularly brave person,

Es neesmu sevišķi drosmīgs cilvēks,

I have to confess it,

tas man jāatzīst,

but I could not just ignore him.

bet es vienkārši nevarēju viņu ignorēt.

So I stopped the car

Es apturēju mašīnu

and I went to help.

un devos palīgā.

The man was without legs

Vīrietis bija bez kājām

and only with one arm.

un ar tikai vienu roku.

Behind him there was a child, his son,

Aiz viņa bija bērns, viņa dēls,

red in the face

nopūlējies sarkans,

in an effort to push the father.

cenšoties pastumt tēvu.

So I took him into a safe place.

Es nogādāju viņu drošā vietā.

And I ask, "What are you doing out in the street

Un jautāju, "Ko jūs darāt ārā uz ielas

in this situation?"

šajā situācijā?"

"I work," he said.

"Es strādāju," viņš teica.

I wondered, what work?

Es brīnījos, ko tieši?

And then I ask an even more stupid question:

Un tad es pajautāju vēl muļķīgāku jautājumu:

"Why don't you have the prostheses?

"Kāpēc jums nav protēzes?

Why don't you have the artificial legs?"

Kāpēc jums nav mākslīgās kājas?"

And he said, "The Red Cross has closed."

Un viņš teica, "Sarkanais Krusts vairs nedarbojas."

Well without thinking, I told him

Bez vilcināšanās es viņam atbildēju,

"Come tomorrow.

"Atnāciet rīt.

We will provide you with a pair of legs."

Mēs jums pagādāsim kāju pāri."

The man, his name was Mahmoud,

Vīrietis, viņa vārds bija Mahmuds,

and the child, whose name was Rafi, left.

un bērns, kura vārds bija Rafi, devās prom.

And then I said, "Oh, my God. What did I say?

Un tad es teicu, "Ak, mans Dievs. Ko gan es pateicu?

The center is closed,

Centrs ir slēgts,

no staff around.

nav neviena darbinieka.

Maybe the machinery is broken.

Iespējams, ka iekārtas ir salūzušas.

Who is going to make the legs for him?"

Kurš viņam izgatavos kājas?"

So I hoped that he would not come.

Es cerēju, ka viņš neieradīsies.

This is the streets of Kabul

Šādas bija Kabulas ielas

in those days.

tajā laikā.

So I said, "Well I will give him some money."

Es teicu, "Labi, es iedošu viņam nedaudz naudas."

And so the following day,

Un nākamajā dienā

I went to the orthopedic center.

es devos uz ortopēdisko centru.

And I spoke with a gatekeeper.

Un es runāju ar vārtu sargu.

I was ready to tell him,

Es biju viņam gatavs pateikt,

"Listen, if someone such-and-such comes tomorrow,

"Klausieties, ja kāds tāds un tāds rīt ierodas,

please tell him that it was a mistake.

pasakiet viņam, ka tā bija kļūda.

Nothing can be done.

Neko nav iespējams darīt.

Give him some money."

Iedotiet viņam nedaudz naudas."

But Mahmoud and his son were already there.

Bet Mahmuds un viņa dēls jau bija tur.

And they were not alone.

Un viņi nebija vieni paši.

There were 15, maybe 20, people like him waiting.

Tur gaidīja 15, varbūt 20 tādi cilvēki kā viņš.

And there was some staff too.

Un bija arī daži darbinieki.

Among them there was my right-hand man,

Starp tiem bija arī mans palīgs

Najmuddin.

Nadžmudins.

And the gatekeeper told me,

Un vārtu sargs man pateica,

"They come everyday to see if the center will open."

"Viņi nāk katru dienu, lai redzētu, vai centrs tiks atvērts."

I said, "No.

Es teicu, "Nē.

We have to go away. We cannot stay here."

Mums jāiet prom. Mēs nevaram te palikt."

They were bombing -- not very close -- but you could hear the noise of the bombs.

Ne pārāk tuvu notika apšaude, taču varēja dzirdēt granātu troksni.

So, "We cannot stay here, it's dangerous.

Tā nu, "Mēs nevaram šeit palikt, tas ir bīstami.

It's not a priority."

Tā nav prioritāte."

But Najmuddin told me, "Listen now, we're here."

Bet Nadžmudins man teica, "Klausies, mēs esam šeit."

At least we can start repairing the prostheses, the broken prostheses of the people

Mēs vismaz varam sākt labot protēzes, cilvēku salauztās protēzes

and maybe try to do something

un varbūt censties kaut kā palīdzēt

for people like Mahmoud."

tādiem cilvēkiem kā Mahmuds."

I said, "No, please. We cannot do that.

Es teicu, "Nē, lūdzu. Mēs to nevaram darīt.

It's really dangerous.

Tas ir patiešām bīstami.

We have other things to do."

Mums ir darāmas citas lietas."

But they insisted.

Bet viņi uzstāja.

When you have 20 people

Kad jums priekšā ir

in front of you, looking at you

20 cilvēki, kas skatās uz jums,

and you are the one who has to decide ...

un jūs esat tas, kuram jāizlemj ...

So we started doing some repairs.

Tā nu mēs sākām veikt labošanu.

Also one of the physical therapists

Viens no fizikālajiem terapeitiem arī

reported that Mahmoud

ziņoja, ka Mahmudam

could be provided with a leg,

varētu tikt sadabūta kāja,

but not immediately.

bet ne uzreiz.

The legs were swollen

Kājas bija uztūkušas

and the knees were stiff,

un ceļgali bija stīvi,

so he needed a long preparation.

tāpēc viņam bija nepieciešama ilga sagatavošanās.

Believe me, I was worried

Ticiet man, es biju noraizējies,

because I was breaking the rules.

jo es pārkāpu noteikumus.

I was doing something

Es darīju kaut ko tādu,

that I was not supposed to do.

ko man nevajadzēja darīt.

In the evening,

Vakarā

I went to speak with the bosses at the headquarters,

es devos runāt ar priekšniekiem galvenajā pārvaldē,

and I told them -- I lied --

un es viņiem teicu -- es meloju --

I told them, "Listen, we are going to start

es viņiem teicu, "Klausieties, mēs sāksim

a couple of hours per day,

katru dienu pāris stundas

just a few repairs."

veikt dažas atjaunošanas."

Maybe some of them are here now.

Iespējams, ka daži no viņiem tagad sēž te.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

So we started.

Tā nu mēs sākām.

I was working, I was going everyday

Es strādāju, katru dienu es devos

to work for the homeless.

uz darbu palīdzēt bezpajumtniekiem.

And Najmuddin was staying there,

Un Nadžmudins stāvēja tur,

doing everything and reporting on the patients.

darot visu un ziņojot par pacientiem.

He was telling me, "Patients are coming."

Viņš man teica, "Nāk pacienti."

We knew that many more patients

Mēs zinājām, ka daudz vairāk pacientu

could not come, prevented by the fighting.

karadarbības dēļ baidās ierasties.

But people were coming.

Bet cilvēki nāca.

And Mahmoud was coming every day.

Un Mahmuds nāca katru dienu.

And slowly, slowly

Un lēnām, lēnām,

week after week

nedēļu pēc nedēļas

his legs were improving.

viņa kāju stāvoklis uzlabojās.

The stump or cast prosthesis was made,

Tika izgatavota amputācijas stumbra jeb atlējuma protēze

and he was starting

un viņš sāka

the real physical rehabilitation.

īsto fizikālo rehabilitāciju.

He was coming every day,

Viņš nāca katru dienu,

crossing the front line.

šķērsojot frontes līniju.

A couple of times I crossed the front line

Pāris reižu es šķērsoju frontes līniju

in the very place where Mahmoud and his son were crossing.

tajā pašā vietā, kur Mahmuds un viņa dēls to šķērsoja.

I tell you, it was something so sinister

Es jums saku, tas bija kaut kas tik draudīgs,

that I was astonished he could do it every day.

ka es biju pārsteigts, ka viņš to dara katru dienu.

But finally, the great day arrived.

Bet beidzot pienāca lieliskā diena.

Mahmoud was going to be discharged

Mahmuds gatavojās izrakstīties

with his new legs.

ar savām jaunajām kājām.

It was April, I remember,

Es atceros, ka bija aprīlis,

a very beautiful day.

ļoti skaista diena.

April in Kabul is beautiful,

Aprīlis Kabulā ir skaists,

full of roses, full of flowers.

pilns rožu un ziedu.

We could not possibly stay indoors,

Mēs nespējām palikt iekštelpās

with all these sandbags at the windows.

ar visiem šiem smilšu maisiem priekšā logiem.

Very sad, dark.

Ļoti skumji, tumši.

So we chose a small spot in the garden.

Mēs izraudzījāmies mazu vietiņu dārzā.

And Mahmoud put on his prostheses,

Un Mahmuds uzlika savas protēzes,

the other patients did the same,

pārējie pacienti izdarīja to pašu,

and they started practicing

un viņi sāka trenēties

for the last time before being discharged.

pēdējo reizi pirms izrakstīšanas.

Suddenly, they started fighting.

Pēkšņi viņi sāka šaut.

Two groups of Mujahideen started fighting.

Divas modžahedu grupas sāka apšaudi.

We could hear in the air

Mēs dzirdējām, kā gaisā

the bullets passing.

svilpa lodes.

So we dashed, all of us,

Mēs visi metāmies skriešus

towards the shelter.

uz patvertni.

Mahmoud grabbed his son, I grabbed someone else.

Mahmuds saķēra savu dēlu, es saķēru kādu citu.

Everybody was grabbing something.

Ikviens kādu saķēra.

And we ran.

Un mēs skrējām.

You know, 50 meters can be a long distance

Zināt, 50 metri var būt garš attālums,

if you are totally exposed,

ja esat pilnīgi atklātā vietā,

but we managed to reach the shelter.

bet mēs spējām sasniegt patvertni.

Inside, all of us panting,

Iekšā, visiem mums elšot,

I sat a moment and I heard Rafi telling his father,

es brīdi sēdēju un dzirdēju Rafi sakām savam tēvam,

"Father, you can run faster than me."

"Tēvs, tu vari paskriet ātrāk par mani."

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

And Mahmoud, "Of course I can.

Un Mahmuds atbildēja, "Protams, ka varu.

I can run, and now you can go to school.

Es varu paskriet, un tu tagad vari iet uz skolu.

No need of staying with me all the day

Tev nevajag ar mani palikt kopā visu dienu,

pushing my wheelchair."

stumjot manu ratiņkrēslu."

Later on, we took them home.

Vēlāk mēs aizvedām viņus mājās.

And I will never forget

Un mēs nekad neaizmirsīsim

Mahmoud and his son walking together

Mahmudu un viņa dēlu ejot blakus

pushing the empty wheelchair.

un stumjot tukšo ratiņkrēslu.

And then I understood,

Un tad es sapratu,

physical rehabilitation is a priority.

ka fizikālā rehabilitācija ir prioritāte.

Dignity cannot wait for better times.

Cieņa nevar gaidīt labākus laikus.

From that day on, we never closed a single day.

No tās dienas mēs nevienu dienu nebijām slēgti.

Well sometimes we were suspended for a few hours,

Reizēm mēs pātraucām uz pāris stundām,

but we never, we never closed it again.

bet mēs nekad, nekad to neslēdzām.

I met Mahmoud one year later.

Es satiku Mahmudu pēc gada.

He was in good shape --

Viņš bija labā formā —

a bit thinner.

nedaudz slaidāks.

He needed to change his prostheses --

Viņam vajadzēja nomainīt protēzes --

a new pair of prostheses.

jaunu protēžu pāri.

I asked about his son.

Es pavaicāju par viņa dēlu.

He told me, "He's at school. He'd doing quite well."

Viņš man teica, "Viņš ir skolā. Viņam iet diezgan labi."

But I understood he wanted to tell me something.

Bet es sapratu, ka viņš man kaut ko vēlējās pateikt.

So I asked him, "What is that?"

Tāpēc es viņam pajautāju, "Kas tas ir?"

He was sweating.

Viņš nosvīda.

He was clearly embarrassed.

Viņš bija acīmredzams kauns.

And he was standing in front of me,

Un viņš stāvēja manā priekšā

his head down.

ar nolaistu galvu.

He said, "You have taught me to walk.

Viņš teica, "Jūs man iemācījāt staigāt.

Thank you very much.

Liels paldies.

Now help me not to be a beggar anymore."

Tagad palīdziet man vairs nebūt ubagam."

That was the job.

Tas bija viņa darbs.

"My children are growing.

"Mani bērni aug.

I feel ashamed.

Man ir kauns.

I don't want them to be teased at school

Es negribu, lai skolā viņus citi skolnieki

by the other students."

ķircinātu."

I said, "Okay."

Es teicu, "Labi."

I thought, how much money do I have in my pocket?

Es nodomāju, cik daudz naudas man ir kabatā?

Just to give him some money.

Jāiedod viņam nedaudz naudas.

It was the easiest way.

Tas bija vienkāršākais veids.

He read my mind,

Viņš lasīja manas domas,

and he said, "I ask for a job."

un viņš teica, "Es gribu pieteikties darbā."

And then he added something

Un tad viņš kaut ko piebilda,

I will never forget for the rest of my life.

ko es savā dzīvē nekad neaizmirsīšu.

He said, "I am a scrap of a man,

Viņš teica, "Es esmu atlieka no cilvēka,

but if you help me,

bet ja jūs man palīdzēsiet,

I'm ready to do anything,

esmu gatavs darīt visu,

even if I have to crawl on the ground."

pat ja man būtu jārāpo pa zemi."

And then he sat down.

Un tad viņš apsēdās.

I sat down too with goosebumps everywhere.

Es arī apsēdos, un man viscaur uzmetās zosāda.

Legless, with only one arm,

Bez kājām, ar tikai vienu roku,

illiterate,

analfabēts,

unskilled --

bez prasmēm --

what job for him?

kādu darbu viņam dot?

Najmuddin told me, "Well we have a vacancy

Nadžmudins teica man, "Mums ir vakance

in the carpentry shop."

galdniecības izstrādājumu veikalā."

"What?" I said, "Stop."

"Ko?" es teicu, "Pagaidi."

"Well yes, we need to increase the production of feet.

"Labi, jā, mums vajag palielināt pēdu ražošanas apjomu.

We need to employ someone

Mums kāds ir jānoalgo,

to glue and to screw the sole of the feet.

lai tas līmētu un saskrūvētu pēdu apakšas.

We need to increase the production."

Mums jāpalielina ražošanas apjoms."

"Excuse me?"

"Atvaino?"

I could not believe.

Es nespēju noticēt.

And then he said,

Un tad viņš teica,

"No, we can modify the workbench

"Nē, mēs varam pārveidot ēvelsolu,

maybe to put a special stool,

iespējams, ievietot speciālu krēslu,

a special anvil, special vice,

speciālu laktu, speciālas skrūvspīles,

and maybe an electric screwdriver."

un varbūt elektrisko skrūvgriezi."

I said, "Listen, it's insane.

Es teicu, "Klau, tas ir neprāts.

And it's even cruel to think of anything like this.

Un tas pat ir cietsirdīgi domāt par kaut ko tādu.

That's a production line and a very fast one.

Tā ir ražošanas līnija un pat ļoti ātra.

It's cruel

Ir cietsirdīgi

to offer him a job

piedāvāt viņam darbu,

knowing that he's going to fail."

zinot, ka viņam tas neizdosies."

But with Najmuddin, we cannot discuss.

Bet ar Nadžmudinu nebija jēgas strīdēties.

So the only things I could manage to obtain

Vienīgās lietas, ko es spēju sarunāt,

was a kind of a compromise.

bija sava veida kompromiss.

Only one week --

Tikai vienu nedēļu,

one week try and not a single day more.

izmēģināt vienu nedēļu un ne dienu vairāk.

One week later,

Pēc nedēļas

Mahmoud was the fastest in the production line.

Mahmuds ražošanas līnijā bija pats ātrākais.

I told Najmuddin, "That's a trick.

Es teicu Nadžmudinam, "Tā ir viltība.

I can't believe it."

Es tam neticu."

The production was up 20 percent.

Ražošana bija pieaugusi par 20 procentiem.

"It's a trick, it's a trick," I said.

"Tā ir viltība, tā ir viltība," es teicu.

And then I asked for verification.

Un tad es prasīju pēc pierādījumiem.

It was true.

Tā bija patiesība.

The comment of Najmuddin was Mahmoud has something to prove.

Nadžmudina komentārs bija, ka Mahmudam ir kaut kas, ko pierādīt.

I understood

Es sapratu,

that I was wrong again.

ka atkal esmu kļūdījies.

Mahmoud had looked taller.

Mahmuds bija ar augstāk paceltu galvu.

I remember him sitting behind the workbench smiling.

Es atceros viņu smaidošu sēžam aiz ēvelsola.

He was a new man,

Viņš bija cits cilvēks,

taller again.

garāks.

Of course, I understood

Protams, es sapratu,

that what made him stand tall --

kas viņu tādu padarīja.

yeah they were the legs, thank you very much --

Jā, tās bija viņa kājas, liels paldies,

but as a first step,

taču pats pirmais solis

it was the dignity.

bija pašcieņa.

He has regained his full dignity

Pateicoties šim darbam, viņš

thanks to that job.

atguva pašcieņu.

So of course, I understood.

Tāpēc, protams, es sapratu.

And then we started a new policy --

Un tad mēs sākām jaunu politiku --

a new policy completely different.

pilnīgi citādu jaunu politiku.

We decided to employ

Mēs nolēmām pieņemt darbā

as many disabled as possible

tik daudz invalīdus, cik vien iespējams,

to train them in any possible job.

lai mācītu viņiem visus iespējamos darbus.

It became a policy of "positive discrimination,"

Tā kļuva par "pozitīvās diskriminācijas" politiku,

we call it now.

kā mēs to saucam tagad.

And you know what?

Un zināt ko?

It's good for everybody.

Tā ir laba ikvienam.

Everybody benefits from that --

Ikviens no tā ir ieguvējs,

those employed, of course,

nodarbinātie, protams,

because they get a job

jo viņi iegūst darbu

and dignity.

un cieņu.

But also for the newcomers.

Tomēr arī jaunatnācēji ir ieguvēji.

They are 7,000 every year --

Viņu katru gadu ir 7,000 --

people coming for the first time.

cilvēki, kas ierodas pirmo reizi.

And you should see the faces of these people

Un jums vajadzētu redzēt šo cilvēku sejas,

when they realize that those assisting them are like them.

kad viņi saprot, ka tie, kas viņiem palīdz, ir tādi paši kā viņi.

Sometimes you see them,

Dažreiz jūs viņus redzat.

they look, "Oh."

viņi izskatās, "Oho."

And you see the faces.

Un jūs redzat sejas.

And then the surprise turns into hope.

Un tad pārsteigums pārvēršas cerībā.

And it's easy for me as well to train someone

Un arī man ir viegli apmācīt kādu,

who has already passed through the experience of disability.

kurš jau ir izgājis cauri invaliditātes pieredzei.

Poof, they learn much faster -- the motivation,

Puf, viņi mācās daudz ātrāk — motivācija,

the empathy they can establish with the patient

līdzjūtības saikne, ko viņi izveido ar pacientu,

is completely different, completely.

ir pilnīgi citāda, pilnīgi.

Scraps of men do not exist.

Nav tādas cilvēku paliekas.

People like Mahmoud

Cilvēki kā Mahmuds

are agents of change.

ir pārmaiņu nesēji.

And when you start changing, you cannot stop.

Un kad tu sāc mainīties, tu nevari apstāties.

So employing people, yes,

Jā, nodarbināt cilvēkus,

but also we started programming projects

bet mēs arī sākām veidot

of microfinance, education.

mikrofinanšu, izglītības projektus.

And when you start, you cannot stop.

Un kad tu sāc, tu nevari apstāties.

So you do vocational training,

Jūs veicat profesionālo sagatavošanu,

home education for those who cannot go to school.

mājas apmācību tiem, kuri nevar doties uz skolu.

Physical therapies can be done, not only in the orthopedic center,

Fizikālo terapiju var veikt ne tikai ortopēdiskajā centrā,

but also in the houses of the people.

bet arī cilvēku mājokļos.

There is always a better way to do things.

Vienmēr ir kāds labāks veids, kā paveikt lietas.

That's Najmuddin, the one with the white coat.

Tas ir Nadžmudins, tas baltajā mētelī.

Terrible Najmuddin, is that one.

Tas ir briesmīgais Nadžmudins.

I have learned a lot

Es daudz iemācījies

from people like Najmuddin, Mahmoud, Rafi.

no cilvēkiem kā Nadžmudins, Mahmuds, Rafi.

They are my teachers.

Viņi ir mani skolotāji.

I have a wish, a big wish,

Man ir vēlēšanās, liela vēlēšanās,

that this way of working, this way of thinking,

ka šis strādāšanas veids, šis domāšanas veids

is going to be implemented in other countries.

tiks ieviests citās valstīs.

There are plenty of countries at war like Afghanistan.

Ir daudz tādu karadarbības valstu kā Afganistāna.

It is possible and it is not difficult.

Tas ir iespējams un tas nav sarežģīti.

All we have to do

Viss, kas mums jādara,

is to listen to the people

ir jāklausās cilvēkos,

that we are supposed assist,

kam mums jāpalīdz,

to make them part

lai padarītu viņus par daļu

of the decision-making process

no lēmuma pieņemšanas procesa

and then, of course, to adapt.

un tad, protams, pielāgotu.

This is my big wish.

Tā ir mana lielā vēlēšanās.

Well don't think that the changes in Afghanistan are over;

Nedomājiet, ka pārmaiņas Afganistānā ir beigušās,

not at all. We are going on.

nepavisam. Mēs turpinām.

Recently we have just started a program,

Tikko mēs sākām programmu,

a sport program --

sporta programmu—

basketball for wheelchair users.

basketbols cilvēkiem ratiņkrēslos.

We transport the wheelchairs everywhere.

Mēs nogādājam ratiņkrēslus visur.

We have several teams in the main part of Afghanistan.

Mums lielākajā daļā Afganistānas ir vairākas komandas.

At the beginning,

Sākumā,

when Anajulina told me,

kad Anadžulina man teica,

"We would like to start it,"

"Mēs to gribētu sākt,"

I hesitated.

es vilcinājos.

I said, "No," you can imagine.

Es teicu, "Nē," jūs varat iedomāties.

I said, "No, no, no, no, we can't."

Es teicu, "Nē, nē, nē, nē, mēs nevaram."

And then I asked the usual question:

Un tad es uzdevu parasto jautājumu:

"Is it a priority?

"Vai tā ir prioritāte?

Is it really necessary?"

Vai tā tiešām ir nepieciešamība?"

Well now you should see me.

Jums būtu vajadzējis mani redzēt.

I never miss a single training session.

Es nekad neizlaižu nevienu treniņu.

The night before a match I'm very nervous.

Naktī pirms spēles es esmu ļoti uztraucies.

And you should see me during the match.

Un jums mani vajadzētu redzēt spēles laikā.

I shout like a true Italian.

Es kliedzu kā īsts itālis.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

What's next? What is going to be the next change?

Kas ir nākamais? Kas būs nākamais, ko mainīsim?

Well I don't know yet,

Es vēl pagaidām nezinu,

but I'm sure Najmuddin and his friends,

bet esmu drošs, ka Nadžmudinam un viņa draugiem,

they have it already in mind.

tas ir jau prātā.

That was my story. Thank you very much.

Tāds bija mans stāsts. Liels paldies.

(Applause)
