Homeopathic practitioner Karolina Dziunikowska cares for patients of all ages in Toronto, Canada. In addition to her work treating patients with natural homeopathic remedies, Karolina Dziunikowska supports Doctors Without Borders.

Responding to humanitarian and medical crises throughout the world, Doctors Without Borders, an international nonprofit organization, focuses on controlling disease outbreaks and malnutrition in regions where access to health care is limited.

Volunteer physicians are working hard to treat patients at new clinics and a nutrition center. Meanwhile, oth
