Farmer focuses his attention on some of the world's most impoverished people and uses unconventional ways in which to provide healthcare, to achieve real results and save lives. From his humble beginnings and atypical childhood to his education at Harvard Medical School and on to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia, Farmer dedicated himself to the philosophy that the only real nation is humanity. He sets an example of a life based on hope and understanding of the Haitian proverb Beyond mountains there are mountains--as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you go on and try to solve that one too.
