00:00Thank you so much for joining us.
00:30We have been working in this field with a lot of difficulties.
00:39Now, people have started to recognize us.
00:45In the beginning, if we wanted to give them a zinc tablet,
00:48they used to issue it to us.
00:50They used to create a lot of problems.
00:52Some people would even come to beat us.
00:54We used to work in fear.
00:57As people started to recognize us through media,
01:01through TV, through magazines,
01:04they started to recognize us.
01:26We became friends with them.
01:31We used to ask them if they have a cold.
01:34They used to tell us without fear.
01:36Now, if they have a cold, they take them to the hospital.
01:38If they have a fever, they take them to the hospital.
01:40We used to overcome their fear.
