People sometimes
have more spirit in them than they could ever imagine. One of the migrant workers
that was served by the Shelter Sahabat Insan, Imarni, who displayed such a
quiet and determined spirit in facing up to her reality. Imarni was sexually
abused and became pregnant. Subsequently, as she was discovered to be pregnant,
she was set on fire by her employer, and eventually was deported back to Indonesia, her
wounds not fully treated, and her pregnancy coming to term soon. Since Imarni
was too long into her pregnancy to opt for abortion, her immediate medical
needs were to ensure her extensive burn wounds were dry, and safely see through
her pregnancy until birth. Plastic surgery to correct the deformities and
deficiencies to her body, limbs, and face had to wait till after the birth of
the baby.
