Sir Yvonne Bai

We had few means, it was very primitive. Sometimes, to take the temperature, we put a pencil under the armpit of the patient. He thought it was a thermometer... We cured many people. We always pat a little Lourdes water in oar medicines. Our founder had brought medals from the Shrine. He told us : « Put a medal in a bottle and always fill the bottle with water ». So we had our own production of Lourdes water (Laughs). We all know Sister Emmanuelle and Mother Teresa, but certainly haven't we yet heard of Sister Yvonne and her incredible achievements in India... Thanks to Didier Giroud-Piffoz, we can now discover the deeply moving story of this young woman : nurse during the Great War, missionary at the age of 28, hospital builder, 4 wheel driver in the jungle and so much more... Honored by the highest Indian dignitaries, a so well known and loved woman that the Times of India dedicated two entire pages for her 100th birthday.
