Sometimes in the afternoons, I go to the gym. I

love running, but I don’t go out here because my

An arepa is a fantastic flat bread made of

grill, bake, fry, boil, or steam them. Families eat
them every day in Venezuela, and for hundreds
of years people ate them with various main
course dishes such as soup, or with cheese or
avocado. Nowadays, they are most often split
and used to make sandwiches. Various sizes,
types of flour, and added ingredients are used to
change the arepa’s appearance and flavor. It is
similar in shape and size to other bread from
Mexico and El Salvador.

There are a lot of volunteers working at the hospital. I
don’t know how many, but it seems that there are more
volunteers than doctors sometimes! I work in a small
team that helps and talks to the families of patients.
Being sick can be very difficult, of course, but it’s hard
for relatives too. My colleagues and I talk to families
and make sure they are OK. Some of the other
volunteers talk a lot, and many people like that. I prefer
to listen and help in that way. It can be very scary when
a relative is sick, and it helps some family members to
talk to someone. If there aren’t many visitors, I usually
go to the coffee shop and listen to music. Because I’m a
volunteer, I don’t have to work all the time like the
doctors and nurses do! I work at all times of day, but
there are usually more visitors in the afternoon and
evening.

But things are changing fast, even in a country

such as Bangladesh. As the country becomes
richer, more and more people are moving to big
cities such as the capital, Dhaka, and are getting
different types of jobs. Office work is becoming
more and more common. But, unlike in many
Western nations, there are not many gyms, and
exercising outside can be difficult because of the
small number of parks and green spaces in cities
and also because of the very warm weather.
But for now, Bangladesh is the number one most

active country on the Lancet’s list. We will see if
this continues as the country’s developing
economy continues to grow.
