I've been in Afghanistan for 21 years.

2000
Bio sam u Afganistanu 21 godinu.
00:17
I work for the Red Cross
1
2000
3000
Radim za Crveni križ
00:20
and I'm a physical therapist.
2
5000
3000
kao fizioterapeut.
00:24
My job is to make arms and legs --
3
9000
3000
Posao mi je raditi ruke i noge --
00:27
well it's not completely true.
4
12000
2000
pa, to nije u potpunosti točno.
00:29
We do more than that.
5
14000
2000
Činimo više od toga.
00:31
We provide the patients,
6
16000
2000
Pacijentima pružamo,
00:33
the Afghan disabled,
7
18000
2000
hendikepiranim Afganistancima,
00:35
first with the physical rehabilitation
8
20000
3000
najprije fizičku rehabilitaciju
00:38
then with the social reintegration.
9
23000
3000
a onda i društvenu reintegraciju.
00:41
It's a very logical plan,
10
26000
3000
Veoma logičan plan,
00:44
but it was not always like this.
11
29000
2000
ali nije uvijek bilo tako.
00:46
For many years, we were just providing them
12
31000
2000
Mnogo godina, pružali smo im samo
00:48
with artificial limbs.
13
33000
3000
umjetne udove.
00:51
It took quite many years
14
36000
2000
Bilo je potrebno previše godina
00:53
for the program to become what it is now.
15
38000
5000
da bi program postao ono što je sad.
00:58
Today, I would like to tell you a story,
16
43000
3000
Danas, htio bih vam reći priču,
01:01
the story of a big change,
17
46000
3000
priču o velikoj promjeni,
01:04
and the story of the people
18
49000
2000
priču ljudi
01:06
who made this change possible.
19
51000
2000
koji su omogućili ovu promjenu.
01:08
I arrived in Afghanistan
20
53000
2000
Stigao sam u Afganistan
01:10
in 1990
21
55000
4000
1990. godine
01:14
to work in a hospital
22
59000
3000
da bih radio u bolnici
01:17
for war victims.
23
62000
2000
za ratne žrtve.
01:19
And then, not only for war victims,
24
64000
2000
I onda, ne samo ratne žrtve,
01:21
but it was for any kind of patient.
25
66000
3000
već bilo koju vrstu pacijenata.
01:24
I was also working
26
69000
2000
Također sam radio
01:26
in the orthopedic center, we call it.
27
71000
2000
u ortopedskom centru, kako ga zovemo.
01:28
This is the place where we make the legs.
28
73000
3000
Ovo je mjesto gdje radimo noge.
01:31
At that time
29
76000
2000
U to vrijeme
01:33
I found myself
30
78000
2000
našao sam se
01:35
in a strange situation.
31
80000
2000
u neobičnoj situaciji.
01:37
I felt not quite ready
32
82000
2000
Nisam se baš osjećao spremnim
01:39
for that job.
33
84000
2000
za taj posao.
01:41
There was so much to learn.
34
86000
3000
Bilo je toliko toga za naučiti.
01:44
There were so many things new to me.
35
89000
2000
Bilo je toliko mnogo novih stvari.
01:46
But it was a terrific job.
36
91000
2000
Ali, to je bio sjajan posao.
01:48
But as soon as the fighting intensified,
37
93000
2000
No, čim su borbe postale intenzivnije,
01:50
the physical rehabilitation was suspended.
38
95000
3000
fizička rehabilitacija je bila prekinuta.
01:53
There were many other things to do.
39
98000
2000
Bilo je toliko mnogo stvari za učiniti.
01:55
So the orthopedic center was closed
40
100000
3000
Tako je ortopedski centar bio zatvoren
01:58
because physical rehabilitation
41
103000
2000
jer fizička rehabilitacija
02:00
was not considered a priority.
42
105000
4000
nije bila smatrana prioritetom.
02:08
It was a strange sensation.
43
113000
3000
Bio je to čudan osjećaj.
02:11
Anyway, you know every time I make this speech --
44
116000
3000
Svejedno, znate, svaki put kad držim ovaj govor --
02:14
it's not the first time -- but it's an emotion.
45
119000
3000
ovo nije prvi put -- ali je osjećaj.
02:17
It's something that comes out from the past.
46
122000
2000
To je nešto što dolazi iz prošlosti.
02:19
It's 21 years,
47
124000
2000
Prošla je 21 godina,
02:21
but they are still all there.
48
126000
3000
no još uvijek su tamo.
02:24
Anyway, in 1992,
49
129000
3000
Svejedno, 1992. godine,
02:27
the Mujahideen took all Afghanistan.
50
132000
3000
Mudžahedini su preuzeli cijeli Afganistan.
02:30
And the orthopedic center was closed.
51
135000
3000
I ortopedski centar je bio zatvoren.
02:33
I was assigned to work for the homeless,
52
138000
3000
Bilo mi je dodijeljeno da radim s beskućnicima,
02:36
for the internally displaced people.
53
141000
3000
s protjeranim ljudima.
02:41
But one day, something happened.
54
146000
3000
Ali, jednog dana, nešto se dogodilo.
02:45
I was coming back
55
150000
2000
Vraćao sam se
02:47
from a big food distribution in a mosque
56
152000
3000
s velike distribucije hrane u džamiji
02:50
where tens and tens of people
57
155000
4000
gdje su se deseci i deseci ljudi
02:54
were squatting in terrible conditions.
58
159000
4000
naselili u groznim uvjetima.
02:58
I wanted to go home. I was driving.
59
163000
3000
Htio sam ići kući. Vozio sam.
03:01
You know, when you want to forget,
60
166000
2000
Znate, kad nešto želite zaboraviti,
03:03
you don't want to see things,
61
168000
2000
ne želite vidjeti stvari,
03:05
so you just want to go to your room, to lock yourself inside
62
170000
3000
nego samo želite otići u svoju sobu, zaključati se unutra
03:08
and say, "That's enough."
63
173000
4000
i reći: "Bilo je dosta."
03:12
A bomb fell not far from my car --
64
177000
3000
Bomba je pala nedaleko mog auta --
03:15
well, far enough, but big noise.
65
180000
3000
pa, dovoljno daleko, ali velika buka.
03:18
And everybody disappeared from the street.
66
183000
4000
I svi su nestali s ulice.
03:22
The cars disappeared as well.
67
187000
3000
Auti su isto nestali.
03:25
I ducked.
68
190000
2000
Sagnuo sam se.
03:27
And only one figure
69
192000
2000
I samo je jedna figura
03:29
remained in the middle of the road.
70
194000
2000
ostala na sredini ceste.
03:31
It was a man in a wheelchair
71
196000
3000
Bio je to čovjek u kolicima
03:34
desperately trying to move away.
72
199000
3000
koji se očajnički pokušavao maknuti.
03:37
Well I'm not a particularly brave person,
73
202000
2000
Sad, ja nisam posebno hrabra osoba,
03:39
I have to confess it,
74
204000
2000
moram to priznati,
03:41
but I could not just ignore him.
75
206000
4000
ali nisam ga mogao samo ignorirati.
03:45
So I stopped the car
76
210000
3000
Tako sam zaustavio auto
03:48
and I went to help.
77
213000
3000
i pošao pomoći.
03:51
The man was without legs
78
216000
3000
Čovjek je bio bez nogu
03:54
and only with one arm.
79
219000
3000
i sa samo jednom rukom.
03:57
Behind him there was a child, his son,
80
222000
3000
Iza njega je bilo dijete, njegov sin,
04:00
red in the face
81
225000
2000
crven u licu
04:02
in an effort to push the father.
82
227000
4000
od napora da gurne oca.
04:06
So I took him into a safe place.
83
231000
3000
Tako sam ga odveo na sigurnije mjesto.
04:09
And I ask, "What are you doing out in the street
84
234000
4000
I pitam: "Što činite vani na ulici
04:13
in this situation?"
85
238000
2000
u ovakvoj situaciji?"
04:15
"I work," he said.
86
240000
2000
"Radim," odgovorio je.
04:17
I wondered, what work?
87
242000
3000
Pitao sam se, kakav posao?
04:20
And then I ask an even more stupid question:
88
245000
3000
I onda sam pitao još gluplje pitanje:
04:23
"Why don't you have the prostheses?
89
248000
2000
"Zašto nemate proteze?
04:25
Why don't you have the artificial legs?"
90
250000
2000
Zašto nemate umjetne noge?"
04:27
And he said, "The Red Cross has closed."
91
252000
4000
I odgovorio je: "Crveni križ se zatvorio."
04:31
Well without thinking, I told him
92
256000
3000
Pa, bez razmišljanja sam mu rekao:
04:34
"Come tomorrow.
93
259000
2000
"Dođite sutra.
04:36
We will provide you with a pair of legs."
94
261000
4000
Naći ćemo vam par nogu."
04:40
The man, his name was Mahmoud,
95
265000
3000
Čovjek, ime mu je bilo Mahmoud,
04:43
and the child, whose name was Rafi, left.
96
268000
4000
i dijete, čije je ime bilo Rafi, su otišli.
04:47
And then I said, "Oh, my God. What did I say?
97
272000
4000
I onda sam rekao: "O, Bože. Što sam to upravo rekao?"
04:51
The center is closed,
98
276000
2000
Centar je zatvoren,
04:53
no staff around.
99
278000
2000
nema osoblja.
04:55
Maybe the machinery is broken.
100
280000
3000
Možda su aparati slomljeni.
04:58
Who is going to make the legs for him?"
101
283000
3000
Tko će mu napraviti noge?"
05:01
So I hoped that he would not come.
102
286000
4000
Tako sam se nadao da neće doći.
05:05
This is the streets of Kabul
103
290000
3000
Ovo su ulice Kabula
05:08
in those days.
104
293000
3000
u onim danima.
05:11
So I said, "Well I will give him some money."
105
296000
3000
Pa sam rekao: "Dat ću mu nešto novca."
05:14
And so the following day,
106
299000
2000
I sljedeći dan,
05:16
I went to the orthopedic center.
107
301000
3000
otišao sam u ortopedski centar.
05:19
And I spoke with a gatekeeper.
108
304000
4000
Razgovarao sam s portirom.
05:23
I was ready to tell him,
109
308000
2000
Bio sam mu spreman reći,
05:25
"Listen, if someone such-and-such comes tomorrow,
110
310000
3000
"Slušajte, ako netko takav i takav sutra dođe,
05:28
please tell him that it was a mistake.
111
313000
3000
molim vas da mu rečete da je bila pogreška.
05:31
Nothing can be done.
112
316000
2000
Ništa se ne može učiniti.
05:33
Give him some money."
113
318000
2000
Dajte mu nešto novca."
05:35
But Mahmoud and his son were already there.
114
320000
2000
Ali Mahmoud i njegov sin su već bili tamo.
05:37
And they were not alone.
115
322000
2000
I nisu bili sami.
05:39
There were 15, maybe 20, people like him waiting.
116
324000
5000
Bilo je 15, možda i 20, ljudi poput njega koji su čekali.
05:44
And there was some staff too.
117
329000
4000
I bilo je i dijela osoblja.
05:48
Among them there was my right-hand man,
118
333000
3000
Među njima je bio i čovjek, moja desna ruka,
05:51
Najmuddin.
119
336000
2000
Najmuddin.
05:53
And the gatekeeper told me,
120
338000
3000
I portir mi je rekao,
05:56
"They come everyday to see if the center will open."
121
341000
4000
"Dolaze svaki dan da vide je li centar otvoren."
06:00
I said, "No.
122
345000
2000
Rekao sam: "Ne.
06:02
We have to go away. We cannot stay here."
123
347000
2000
Moramo ići. Ne možemo tu ostati."
06:04
They were bombing -- not very close -- but you could hear the noise of the bombs.
124
349000
3000
Bombardirali su -- ne jako blizu -- ali mogli ste čuti buku bombi.
06:07
So, "We cannot stay here, it's dangerous.
125
352000
3000
Pa, "Ne možemo ostati ovdje, opasno je.
06:10
It's not a priority."
126
355000
2000
Ovo nije prioritet."
06:12
But Najmuddin told me, "Listen now, we're here."
127
357000
4000
Ali Najmuddin mi je rekao: "A slušajte, tu smo."
06:16
At least we can start repairing the prostheses, the broken prostheses of the people
128
361000
3000
Možemo barem početi popravljati proteze, slomljene proteze ljudi
06:19
and maybe try to do something
129
364000
2000
i možda pokušati napraviti nešto
06:21
for people like Mahmoud."
130
366000
2000
za ljude poput Mahmouda."
06:23
I said, "No, please. We cannot do that.
131
368000
3000
Rekao sam: "Molim te, ne. Ne možemo to napraviti.
06:26
It's really dangerous.
132
371000
3000
Stvarno je opasno.
06:29
We have other things to do."
133
374000
2000
Moramo činiti druge stvari."
06:31
But they insisted.
134
376000
2000
Ali inzistirali su.
06:33
When you have 20 people
135
378000
2000
Kad imate 20 ljudi
06:35
in front of you, looking at you
136
380000
2000
pred vama, koji vas gledaju
06:37
and you are the one who has to decide ...
137
382000
3000
i vi ste onaj koji mora odlučiti ...
06:40
So we started doing some repairs.
138
385000
3000
Tako smo počeli obavljati neke popravke.
06:43
Also one of the physical therapists
139
388000
2000
I jedan od fizioterapeuta
06:45
reported that Mahmoud
140
390000
2000
je javio da Mahmoudu
06:47
could be provided with a leg,
141
392000
2000
možemo dati nogu,
06:49
but not immediately.
142
394000
2000
ali ne odmah.
06:51
The legs were swollen
143
396000
2000
Noge su mu bile nateknute
06:53
and the knees were stiff,
144
398000
2000
i koljena ukočena,
06:55
so he needed a long preparation.
145
400000
2000
tako da je trebao dugu pripremu.
06:57
Believe me, I was worried
146
402000
2000
Vjerujte mi, bio sam zabrinut
06:59
because I was breaking the rules.
147
404000
2000
jer sam kršio pravila.
07:01
I was doing something
148
406000
2000
Činio sam nešto
07:03
that I was not supposed to do.
149
408000
3000
što nisam smio.
07:06
In the evening,
150
411000
2000
Na večer,
07:08
I went to speak with the bosses at the headquarters,
151
413000
2000
otišao sam razgovarati sa šefovima u sjedištu,
07:10
and I told them -- I lied --
152
415000
2000
i rekao sam im -- lagao sam --
07:12
I told them, "Listen, we are going to start
153
417000
3000
rekao sam: "Slušajte, počet ćemo
07:15
a couple of hours per day,
154
420000
3000
s nekoliko sati na dan,
07:18
just a few repairs."
155
423000
2000
samo nekoliko popravaka."
07:20
Maybe some of them are here now.
156
425000
2000
Možda su neki od njih sad tu.
07:22
(Laughter)
157
427000
3000
(Smijeh)
07:25
So we started.
158
430000
3000
Tako smo počeli.
07:28
I was working, I was going everyday
159
433000
3000
Radio sam, svaki dan sam išao
07:31
to work for the homeless.
160
436000
3000
na posao za beskućnike.
07:34
And Najmuddin was staying there,
161
439000
2000
I Najmuddin je ostajao tamo,
07:36
doing everything and reporting on the patients.
162
441000
2000
čineći sve i izvještavajući o pacijentima.
07:38
He was telling me, "Patients are coming."
163
443000
3000
Govorio mi je: "Pacijenti dolaze."
07:41
We knew that many more patients
164
446000
2000
Znali smo da puno više pacijenata
07:43
could not come, prevented by the fighting.
165
448000
3000
nije moglo doći, vjerojatno spriječeni borbama.
07:46
But people were coming.
166
451000
2000
Ali ljudi su dolazili.
07:48
And Mahmoud was coming every day.
167
453000
3000
I Mahmoud je dolazio svaki dan.
07:51
And slowly, slowly
168
456000
2000
I polako, polako
07:53
week after week
169
458000
2000
tjedan za tjednom
07:55
his legs were improving.
170
460000
3000
noge su mu se poboljšavale.
07:58
The stump or cast prosthesis was made,
171
463000
4000
Batrljak ili gipsana proteza se napravila,
08:02
and he was starting
172
467000
2000
i počeo je
08:04
the real physical rehabilitation.
173
469000
3000
pravu fizičku rehabilitaciju.
08:07
He was coming every day,
174
472000
2000
Dolazio je svaki dan,
08:09
crossing the front line.
175
474000
2000
prelazeći prve linije.
08:11
A couple of times I crossed the front line
176
476000
2000
Nekoliko sam puta prešao liniju
08:13
in the very place where Mahmoud and his son were crossing.
177
478000
3000
točno na mjestu gdje su Mahmoud i njegov sin prelazili.
08:16
I tell you, it was something so sinister
178
481000
3000
Kažem vam, bilo je tako zlokobno
08:19
that I was astonished he could do it every day.
179
484000
5000
da sam bio zaprepašten što je mogao to činiti svaki dan.
08:24
But finally, the great day arrived.
180
489000
4000
Ali, konačno, veliki dan je stigao.
08:28
Mahmoud was going to be discharged
181
493000
2000
Mahmouda smo trebali otpustiti
08:30
with his new legs.
182
495000
2000
s novim nogama.
08:32
It was April, I remember,
183
497000
2000
Bio je travanj, sjećam se,
08:34
a very beautiful day.
184
499000
2000
predivan dan.
08:36
April in Kabul is beautiful,
185
501000
2000
Travanj u Kabulu je predivan,
08:38
full of roses, full of flowers.
186
503000
3000
pun ruža, pun cvijeća.
08:41
We could not possibly stay indoors,
187
506000
3000
Jednostavno nismo mogli ostati unutra,
08:44
with all these sandbags at the windows.
188
509000
3000
sa svim ovim vrećama pijeska na prozorima.
08:47
Very sad, dark.
189
512000
3000
Veoma tužno, mračno.
08:50
So we chose a small spot in the garden.
190
515000
3000
Tako smo odabrali maleno mjesto u vrtu.
08:53
And Mahmoud put on his prostheses,
191
518000
3000
I Mahmoud je stavio svoje proteze,
08:56
the other patients did the same,
192
521000
3000
drugi pacijenti su činili isto,
08:59
and they started practicing
193
524000
2000
i počeli su vježbati
09:01
for the last time before being discharged.
194
526000
2000
posljednji put prije otpuštanja.
09:03
Suddenly, they started fighting.
195
528000
2000
Odjednom, počeli su se boriti.
09:05
Two groups of Mujahideen started fighting.
196
530000
4000
Dvije grupe Mudžahedina su se počele boriti.
09:09
We could hear in the air
197
534000
3000
Mogli smo čuti u zraku
09:12
the bullets passing.
198
537000
2000
kako meci prolaze.
09:14
So we dashed, all of us,
199
539000
2000
Tako smo otrčali, svi mi,
09:16
towards the shelter.
200
541000
3000
prema skloništu.
09:20
Mahmoud grabbed his son, I grabbed someone else.
201
545000
2000
Mahmoud je zgrabio sina, ja sam zgrabio nekog drugog.
09:22
Everybody was grabbing something.
202
547000
2000
Svi su grabili nešto.
09:24
And we ran.
203
549000
2000
I trčali smo.
09:26
You know, 50 meters can be a long distance
204
551000
2000
Znate, 50 metara može biti jako dugo
09:28
if you are totally exposed,
205
553000
2000
ako sto potpuno izloženi,
09:30
but we managed to reach the shelter.
206
555000
4000
ali uspjeli smo stići u sklonište.
09:34
Inside, all of us panting,
207
559000
3000
Unutra, svi smo jako disali,
09:37
I sat a moment and I heard Rafi telling his father,
208
562000
4000
sjeo sam na tren i čuo Rafija kako govori ocu,
09:41
"Father, you can run faster than me."
209
566000
3000
"Oče, možeš trčati brže od mene."
09:44
(Laughter)
210
569000
2000
(Smijeh)
09:46
And Mahmoud, "Of course I can.
211
571000
3000
I Mahmoud: "Naravno da mogu.
09:49
I can run, and now you can go to school.
212
574000
3000
Mogu trčati, i ti sad možeš ići u školu.
09:52
No need of staying with me all the day
213
577000
3000
Ne trebaš ostajati sa mnom cijeli dan
09:55
pushing my wheelchair."
214
580000
2000
gurajući moja kolica."
09:57
Later on, we took them home.
215
582000
2000
Kasnije, odveli smo ih kući.
09:59
And I will never forget
216
584000
2000
Nikad neću zaboraviti
10:01
Mahmoud and his son walking together
217
586000
3000
kako su Mahmoud i sin hodali zajedno
10:04
pushing the empty wheelchair.
218
589000
3000
gurajući prazna kolica.
10:07
And then I understood,
219
592000
3000
I onda sam razumio,
10:10
physical rehabilitation is a priority.
220
595000
4000
fizička rehabilitacija jest bila prioritet.
10:14
Dignity cannot wait for better times.
221
599000
4000
Dostojanstvo ne može čekati bolja vremena.
10:19
From that day on, we never closed a single day.
222
604000
4000
Od toga dana, nikad nismo zatvorili čak ni na dan.
10:24
Well sometimes we were suspended for a few hours,
223
609000
2000
Dobro, ponekad smo morali stati na nekoliko sati,
10:26
but we never, we never closed it again.
224
611000
3000
ali nikad, nikad više nismo zatvorili.
10:31
I met Mahmoud one year later.
225
616000
2000
Sreo sam Mahmouda godinu dana kasnije.
10:33
He was in good shape --
226
618000
4000
Bio je u dobrom stanju --
10:37
a bit thinner.
227
622000
3000
malo mršaviji.
10:40
He needed to change his prostheses --
228
625000
3000
Morao je promijeniti proteze --
10:43
a new pair of prostheses.
229
628000
3000
novi par proteza.
10:46
I asked about his son.
230
631000
2000
Pitao sam ga za sina.
10:48
He told me, "He's at school. He'd doing quite well."
231
633000
2000
Rekao mi je: "U školi je. Prilično mu dobro ide."
10:50
But I understood he wanted to tell me something.
232
635000
4000
Shvatio sam da mi je htio reći nešto.
10:54
So I asked him, "What is that?"
233
639000
4000
Pa sam pitao: "Što je to?"
10:58
He was sweating.
234
643000
2000
Znojio se.
11:00
He was clearly embarrassed.
235
645000
4000
Očito mu je bilo neugodno.
11:04
And he was standing in front of me,
236
649000
3000
Stajao je ispred mene,
11:07
his head down.
237
652000
3000
sagnute glave.
11:10
He said, "You have taught me to walk.
238
655000
4000
Rekao je: "Naučili ste me hodati.
11:14
Thank you very much.
239
659000
3000
Puno vam hvala.
11:17
Now help me not to be a beggar anymore."
240
662000
4000
Sad mi pomozite da više ne budem prosjak."
11:21
That was the job.
241
666000
2000
To je bio posao.
11:23
"My children are growing.
242
668000
3000
"Djeca mi rastu.
11:26
I feel ashamed.
243
671000
2000
Sramim se.
11:28
I don't want them to be teased at school
244
673000
3000
Ne želim da ih u školi
11:31
by the other students."
245
676000
3000
zadirkuju drugi učenici."
11:34
I said, "Okay."
246
679000
2000
Rekao sam: "OK."
11:36
I thought, how much money do I have in my pocket?
247
681000
2000
Mislio sam, koliko novca imam u džepu?
11:38
Just to give him some money.
248
683000
2000
Samo da mu dam nešto novca.
11:40
It was the easiest way.
249
685000
2000
To je bilo najlakše.
11:42
He read my mind,
250
687000
2000
Pročitao mi je misli,
11:44
and he said, "I ask for a job."
251
689000
5000
i rekao: "Tražim posao."
11:50
And then he added something
252
695000
3000
I onda je dodao još nešto
11:53
I will never forget for the rest of my life.
253
698000
4000
što nikad u životu neću zaboraviti.
11:57
He said, "I am a scrap of a man,
254
702000
6000
Rekao je: "Ja sam ostatak čovjeka,
12:03
but if you help me,
255
708000
2000
ali ako mi pomognete,
12:05
I'm ready to do anything,
256
710000
3000
spreman sam učiniti bilo što,
12:08
even if I have to crawl on the ground."
257
713000
4000
čak i ako moram puzati po tlu."
12:12
And then he sat down.
258
717000
2000
I onda je sjeo.
12:14
I sat down too with goosebumps everywhere.
259
719000
4000
I ja sam sjeo, sav naježen.
12:22
Legless, with only one arm,
260
727000
4000
Bez nogu, sa samo jednom rukom,
12:26
illiterate,
261
731000
3000
nepismen,
12:29
unskilled --
262
734000
3000
bez vještina --
12:32
what job for him?
263
737000
4000
koji posao ima za njega?
12:37
Najmuddin told me, "Well we have a vacancy
264
742000
3000
Najmuddin mi je rekao: "Pa imamo otvoreno mjesto
12:40
in the carpentry shop."
265
745000
2000
u stolariji."
12:42
"What?" I said, "Stop."
266
747000
5000
"Što?" rekao sam, "Stani."
12:47
"Well yes, we need to increase the production of feet.
267
752000
5000
"Pa da, moramo povećati proizvodnju stopala.
12:52
We need to employ someone
268
757000
3000
Moramo zaposliti nekoga
12:55
to glue and to screw the sole of the feet.
269
760000
4000
da lijepi i učvršćava podloge stopala.
12:59
We need to increase the production."
270
764000
3000
Moramo povećati proizvodnju."
13:02
"Excuse me?"
271
767000
2000
"Molim?"
13:04
I could not believe.
272
769000
4000
Nisam mogao vjerovati.
13:08
And then he said,
273
773000
3000
I onda je rekao:
13:11
"No, we can modify the workbench
274
776000
3000
"Ne, možemo prilagoditi radnu klupu,
13:14
maybe to put a special stool,
275
779000
2000
možda postaviti poseban stolac,
13:16
a special anvil, special vice,
276
781000
4000
poseban nakovanj, poseban uređaj za natezanje,
13:20
and maybe an electric screwdriver."
277
785000
2000
i možda električni odvijač."
13:22
I said, "Listen, it's insane.
278
787000
3000
Rekao sam: "Ma slušajte, to je ludost.
13:25
And it's even cruel to think of anything like this.
279
790000
3000
I okrutno je uopće misliti o nečem ovakvom.
13:28
That's a production line and a very fast one.
280
793000
3000
To je proizvodna linija, i to brza.
13:31
It's cruel
281
796000
2000
Okrutno je
13:33
to offer him a job
282
798000
2000
ponuditi mu posao
13:35
knowing that he's going to fail."
283
800000
5000
ako znaš da neće uspjeti."
13:40
But with Najmuddin, we cannot discuss.
284
805000
4000
Ali s Najmuddinom, nema rasprave.
13:44
So the only things I could manage to obtain
285
809000
6000
Tako je jedino što sam mogao napraviti
13:50
was a kind of a compromise.
286
815000
4000
je bila vrsta kompromisa.
13:54
Only one week --
287
819000
2000
Samo jedan tjedan --
13:56
one week try and not a single day more.
288
821000
3000
jedan tjedan pokušaja i niti dan više.
13:59
One week later,
289
824000
2000
Tjedan dana kasnije,
14:01
Mahmoud was the fastest in the production line.
290
826000
4000
Mahmoud je bio najbrži u proizvodnoj liniji.
14:05
I told Najmuddin, "That's a trick.
291
830000
3000
Rekao sam Najmuddinu: "Ovo je trik.
14:08
I can't believe it."
292
833000
2000
Ne mogu vjerovati."
14:10
The production was up 20 percent.
293
835000
2000
Proizvodnja je porasla za 20%.
14:12
"It's a trick, it's a trick," I said.
294
837000
3000
"Ovo je trik, ovo je trik," rekao sam.
14:15
And then I asked for verification.
295
840000
2000
I onda sam tražio provjeru.
14:17
It was true.
296
842000
3000
Bila je istina.
14:20
The comment of Najmuddin was Mahmoud has something to prove.
297
845000
3000
Najmuddinov komentar je bio da Mahmoud ima nešto za dokazati.
14:23
I understood
298
848000
2000
Shvatio sam
14:25
that I was wrong again.
299
850000
3000
da sam ponovno bio u krivu.
14:28
Mahmoud had looked taller.
300
853000
2000
Mahmoud je izgledao viši.
14:30
I remember him sitting behind the workbench smiling.
301
855000
6000
Sjećam se kako je sjedio iza radne klupe smiješeći se.
14:36
He was a new man,
302
861000
3000
Bio je novi čovjek,
14:39
taller again.
303
864000
3000
opet viši.
14:42
Of course, I understood
304
867000
2000
Naravno, shvatio sam
14:44
that what made him stand tall --
305
869000
4000
što ga je natjeralo da stane uspravno --
14:48
yeah they were the legs, thank you very much --
306
873000
2000
da, bile su to noge, hvala puno --
14:50
but as a first step,
307
875000
3000
ali kao prvi korak,
14:53
it was the dignity.
308
878000
2000
to je bilo dostojanstvo.
14:55
He has regained his full dignity
309
880000
3000
Vratio je svoje dostojanstvo u potpunosti
14:58
thanks to that job.
310
883000
2000
zahvaljujući tom poslu.
15:00
So of course, I understood.
311
885000
2000
Tako da naravno, shvatio sam.
15:02
And then we started a new policy --
312
887000
3000
I onda smo započeli novu politiku --
15:05
a new policy completely different.
313
890000
2000
potpuno drukčiju novu politiku.
15:07
We decided to employ
314
892000
2000
Odlučili smo zaposliti
15:09
as many disabled as possible
315
894000
2000
koliko god hendikepiranih koliko je bilo moguće
15:11
to train them in any possible job.
316
896000
2000
da ih istreniramo za bilo koji mogući posao.
15:13
It became a policy of "positive discrimination,"
317
898000
3000
To je postala politika "pozitivne diskriminacije",
15:16
we call it now.
318
901000
3000
kako je sad zovemo.
15:19
And you know what?
319
904000
2000
I znate što?
15:21
It's good for everybody.
320
906000
2000
Dobro je za sve.
15:23
Everybody benefits from that --
321
908000
3000
Svi imaju koristi od toga --
15:26
those employed, of course,
322
911000
2000
oni zaposleni, naravno,
15:28
because they get a job
323
913000
2000
zato što dobiju posao
15:30
and dignity.
324
915000
2000
i dostojanstvo.
15:32
But also for the newcomers.
325
917000
2000
Ali isto i za nove koji dođu.
15:34
They are 7,000 every year --
326
919000
3000
Ima ih 7.000 svake godine --
15:37
people coming for the first time.
327
922000
2000
ljudi koji dođu po prvi put.
15:39
And you should see the faces of these people
328
924000
2000
I trebali biste vidjeti lica tih ljudi
15:41
when they realize that those assisting them are like them.
329
926000
3000
kad shvate da su oni koji im pomažu isti kao oni.
15:44
Sometimes you see them,
330
929000
2000
Ponekad ih vidite,
15:46
they look, "Oh."
331
931000
3000
pogledaju: "O."
15:49
And you see the faces.
332
934000
2000
I vidite lica.
15:51
And then the surprise turns into hope.
333
936000
5000
I onda se iznenađenje pretvori u nadu.
15:58
And it's easy for me as well to train someone
334
943000
3000
I meni je lako istrenirati nekoga
16:01
who has already passed through the experience of disability.
335
946000
3000
tko je već prošao kroz iskustvo hendikepiranosti.
16:04
Poof, they learn much faster -- the motivation,
336
949000
4000
Uče puno brže -- motivacija,
16:08
the empathy they can establish with the patient
337
953000
2000
empatija koju mogu uspostaviti s pacijentom
16:10
is completely different, completely.
338
955000
3000
je potpuno drukčija, potpuno.
16:14
Scraps of men do not exist.
339
959000
3000
Ne postoje ostaci čovjeka.
16:17
People like Mahmoud
340
962000
2000
Ljudi kao Mahmoud
16:19
are agents of change.
341
964000
3000
su činitelji promjene.
16:22
And when you start changing, you cannot stop.
342
967000
3000
I kad se počnete mijenjati, ne možete prestati.
16:25
So employing people, yes,
343
970000
2000
Tako i zapošljavanje ljudi, da,
16:27
but also we started programming projects
344
972000
3000
ali smo također počeli programirati projekte
16:30
of microfinance, education.
345
975000
2000
mikrofinancija, obrazovanja.
16:32
And when you start, you cannot stop.
346
977000
2000
I kad počnete, ne možete prestati.
16:34
So you do vocational training,
347
979000
2000
Tako vodite strukovno obrazovanje,
16:36
home education for those who cannot go to school.
348
981000
3000
kućno obrazovanje za one koji ne mogu ići u školu.
16:39
Physical therapies can be done, not only in the orthopedic center,
349
984000
2000
Fizička terapija se može voditi, ne samo u ortopedskom centru,
16:41
but also in the houses of the people.
350
986000
2000
nego i u kućama ljudi.
16:43
There is always a better way to do things.
351
988000
4000
Uvijek postoji bolji način činjenja stvari.
16:47
That's Najmuddin, the one with the white coat.
352
992000
3000
Ovo je Najmuddin, ovaj u bijelom odijelu.
16:50
Terrible Najmuddin, is that one.
353
995000
3000
Grozni Najmuddin, to je taj.
16:53
I have learned a lot
354
998000
2000
Mnogo sam naučio
16:55
from people like Najmuddin, Mahmoud, Rafi.
355
1000000
2000
od ljudi kao što su Najmuddin, Mahmoud, Rafi.
16:57
They are my teachers.
356
1002000
2000
Oni su moji učitelji.
16:59
I have a wish, a big wish,
357
1004000
3000
Imam želju, ogromnu želju,
17:02
that this way of working, this way of thinking,
358
1007000
3000
da ovaj način rada, ovaj način razmišljanja,
17:05
is going to be implemented in other countries.
359
1010000
3000
bude implementiran u drugim zemljama.
17:08
There are plenty of countries at war like Afghanistan.
360
1013000
4000
Postoji mnogo zemalja u ratu kao Afganistan.
17:13
It is possible and it is not difficult.
361
1018000
3000
Moguće je i nije teško.
17:16
All we have to do
362
1021000
2000
Sve što moramo učiniti
17:18
is to listen to the people
363
1023000
3000
je slušati ljude
17:21
that we are supposed assist,
364
1026000
3000
koji su tu da pomognu,
17:24
to make them part
365
1029000
2000
da ih učinimo dijelom
17:26
of the decision-making process
366
1031000
3000
procesa donošenja odluka
17:29
and then, of course, to adapt.
367
1034000
3000
i onda, naravno, da se prilagodimo.
17:32
This is my big wish.
368
1037000
3000
Ovo je moja velika želja.
17:36
Well don't think that the changes in Afghanistan are over;
369
1041000
3000
I nemojte misliti da su promjene u Afganistanu gotove,
17:39
not at all. We are going on.
370
1044000
2000
uopće nisu. Idemo dalje.
17:41
Recently we have just started a program,
371
1046000
3000
Nedavno smo započeli program,
17:44
a sport program --
372
1049000
2000
sportski program --
17:46
basketball for wheelchair users.
373
1051000
2000
košarka za ljude u kolicima.
17:48
We transport the wheelchairs everywhere.
374
1053000
3000
Kolica prenosimo svugdje.
17:51
We have several teams in the main part of Afghanistan.
375
1056000
3000
Imamo nekoliko timova u glavnom dijelu Afganistana.
17:54
At the beginning,
376
1059000
2000
Na početku,
17:56
when Anajulina told me,
377
1061000
3000
kad mi je Anajulina rekla,
17:59
"We would like to start it,"
378
1064000
2000
"Htjeli bismo to početi,"
18:01
I hesitated.
379
1066000
2000
oklijevao sam.
18:03
I said, "No," you can imagine.
380
1068000
2000
Rekao sam: "Ne," možete li zamisliti.
18:05
I said, "No, no, no, no, we can't."
381
1070000
2000
Rekao sam: "Ne, ne, ne, ne, ne možemo."
18:07
And then I asked the usual question:
382
1072000
2000
I onda sam pitao uobičajeno pitanje:
18:09
"Is it a priority?
383
1074000
2000
"Je li to prioritet?
18:11
Is it really necessary?"
384
1076000
3000
Je li to stvarno potrebno?"
18:14
Well now you should see me.
385
1079000
2000
Pa trebali biste me vidjeti sada.
18:16
I never miss a single training session.
386
1081000
3000
Ne propustim ni jedan jedini trening.
18:19
The night before a match I'm very nervous.
387
1084000
3000
Večer prije utakmice budem veoma nervozan.
18:22
And you should see me during the match.
388
1087000
4000
I trebali biste me vidjeti tijekom utakmice.
18:26
I shout like a true Italian.
389
1091000
3000
Vičem kao pravi Talijan.
18:29
(Laughter)
390
1094000
3000
(Smijeh)
18:32
What's next? What is going to be the next change?
391
1097000
4000
Što je sljedeće? Što će biti sljedeća promjena?
18:36
Well I don't know yet,
392
1101000
2000
Pa ne znam još,
18:38
but I'm sure Najmuddin and his friends,
393
1103000
2000
ali sam siguran da Najmuddin i njegovi prijatelji,
18:40
they have it already in mind.
394
1105000
2000
već imaju nešto na umu.
18:42
That was my story. Thank you very much.
395
1107000
3000
To je bila moja priča. Puno vam hvala.
18:45
(Applause)
396
1110000
11000
(Pljesak)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Alberto Cairo - PhysiotherapistAlberto Cairo leads the International Red Cross' orthopedic rehabilitation work in Afghanistan.
Why you should listen
Alberto Cairo is the head of the ICRC's orthopedic program in Afghanistan. He's spent the past two decades in this war-ravaged nation -- far from his native Italy -- helping an estimated 100,000 Afghan landmine and accident victims learn to find the strength within themselves to not only walk, but also to hope, again.
In a country where the disabled are generally given pity but no rights, Alberto found a way -- through micro-loans, positive discrimination schemes and home schooling -- to give tens of thousands of disabled Afghans a job and a sense of dignity and pride.
About him, John F. Burns wrote in the New York Times: "Afghans of all ethnic and political stripes, even the Taliban, seem likely to count Alberto Cairo as one foreigner who left the country better than he found it."
His diary, "Storie da Kabul," based on a series of stories he wrote for Italy's La Repubblica, has been published in Italian and in French.
