British nurse who caught Ebola in Sierra Leone plans to return there

William Pooley, the 29 year old British nurse who recently got treated of the Ebola virus which he contracted while working as a voluntaeer nurse in Sierra Leone, says he plans to go back to the country to continue working there and help other victims. Speaking with UK Guardian, Pooley said;
"While I'm happy to be recovered and alive, there's a lot of stuff on my mind with what's going on back there. It would be relatively safe for me to go back and work there, and it's really the least I could do having received all this amazing care and have people look after me and potentially save my life. It's the least I could do to go back and return the favour to some other people, even just for a little while. The more help they get, the less chance there is they get sick.” he said. Continue...
His mother, Jackie, also supports his wish to head back to Sierra Leone
“We would want him to go back, not as an individual but with an organization of some kind so he's got the backing. Obviously in a way we don't want [him] to, but I can see I would feel very proud of him if he decided he was going to, because he knows what it is going to be like,” she said.

True religion: Love and service to humanity. Not the mouth service one we have in our country.

Wow! I love the spirit......

But going back to Sierra Leone would make it appear like he doesn't appreciate the efforts that was put into saving him from Ebola.

What happens if he contracts Ebola a second time?
Hmmmmmm

He's immune now right? So he's the perfect person to go into an Ebola zone. Kudos to him.

That's serious.The whites always have this kinda determination and mind different from we Africans. Imagine someone who narrowly escaped death, now planning to go back to the death zone again. Bro,all the best.I like your spirit but cant emulate that kinda spirit

Wish Africans can do volunteer jobs as much as the whites. We'll probably need less help and handouts from others if so.

Nwokem relax and enjoy your second chance! Ebola is not like measles or chicken pox, it can strike you down twice. Big ups for wanting to try, but leave it for others, no one's going to blame if you decide to seat this one out

Blacks worship money and showing off real and fakes on Instagram. The white man appreciates character and service to others.
