All the hospitals but one in the capital city were destroyed

But they don't want to take any foreign assistance from anybody to do anything after 2020
但是他们不想在2020年之后继续接受任何类型的外国援助
And so they have to not only have hospitals and people trying to work there, but rural clinics and community health workers
所以他们不仅需要医院和其中的医疗工作者还需要乡村诊所和社区医疗工作者
And so they asked us to put together a plan to do it
于是他们请求我们制定一个实施计划
Dr. Eric Goosby, President Obama has appointed him as head of PEPFAR,

But listen to this, you should be really proud of Howard for this

Everyone of these schools including Howard is commited to doing this work for three or four years for only 7% overhead,
包括霍华德大学在内的每一所学校都承诺只花经费的7% 做三到四年的工作
the lowest in the history of any foreign assistance program
这是外国援助项目史上的最低开支
And I think you should be really really proud
我觉得你们真的应该感到自豪
You're going to save countless of lives for decades and decades
你们将在今后几十年中救下无数人的生命
I am well aware that the commencement speech is the least important part of this day

I congratulate all of you who are here

Your parents, your friends, your loved ones

I thank those who taught you and work to keep this university going and the supporters of Howard who are here

But unlike almost every other person here who's older,
但与其他到场的几乎所有年纪大的人不同
I actually remember who gave my commencement speech 45 years ago next month
