When asked what motivated her to dance for the child, nurse Robai told The Standard, “The inspiration is very natural, not driven by anything. I have a program called Project Transformational Dance ministries [TDM] where I dance in the hospital. I love dancing for fun, especially to cheer up the patients. Mostly, I dance when administering drugs to my patients.”
During an interview with Standard on Tuesday, the nurse mentioned she has a scholarship for her nursing course from her former high school.
