【Origin Stories - Beth Lopez, Founder of Docosan AW#21】
Becoming a doctor was all I wanted to do growing up. It was the focal point of my identity for the majority of my upbringing. That all changed when I graduated from university and went to the peace corps.
I was sent to Cambodia, and ultimately fell in love with the place. It was so peaceful. The people were incredibly kind, but many of them lacked access to very basic necessities like healthcare--something I witnessed firsthand while living and working in a health center of this small, rural community.
It was supposed to be open 24/7 and serve as the main medical services hub for all the surrounding villages. In reality, it was only open for 2 hours a day. There were doctors on site, but many of them were just using the center as a way to get referrals to their private clinics. There wasn’t even running water, so many of the kids had gastrointestinal diseases.
The root cause of all this? Poor public health policy. Experiencing that firsthand made me realize that there was something I cared more about than becoming a doctor. After going back to school to get a masters in public health and working in a SG-based healthcare startup for a few years, I decided to set off on my own and start Docosan.
I took a huge risk and poured all of my savings into the company, accompanied by many sleepless nights in the early days. Things were tight. We even worked out of a closet-sized office space on top of a dog cafe at one point. We’ve since raised a round of fundraising and built up promising early traction, with many positive testimonials from patients and doctors.
We still face hurdles every single day but the opportunity is huge. We are changing the way people access healthcare for the better. I can say with 100% conviction that there's nothing I'd rather be doing.

下了一周的雨，在星期六這天太陽公公終於出現
天氣太好照進家裡的陽光很難忽視，想出去走走，於是決定去咖啡店坐坐
把拔開的條件是在新店，方便停車，就來到了這家 Peace & Love Cafe
Peace & Love 位在一條比較窄的巷子，若是一個沒注意的話很快就會錯過呢
因為沒有來過怕假日下午爆滿事先訂了位子，很順利的被帶入座位
菜單上部分字體有些斑駁不知道是故意的還是被客人摸的次數頻繁
點了熱卡布奇諾，橙香拿鐵，荔枝冰咖啡和焦糖海鹽生巧克力蛋糕
橙香拿鐵喝起來是一般拿鐵的味道...
荔枝冰咖啡像是美式加了荔汁，口味很像果汁所以把拔跟我換了XD
蛋糕差強人意，是比較少有的口味所以就點來配咖啡
令人驚喜的是卡布竟然分成一大一小兩杯 好可愛~~~
也許是帶女孩子約會時可以set的一個梗XD
低消每人一杯咖啡或餐點還要加上一成
整體來說覺得有點貴了
不過看到網路上的食記大部份人來這用餐也許餐點是一強項
就餐點印象和服務而言，會再去開發其他C/P值更高的店囉
如果住在附近的朋友也許可以來試試Peace & Love的餐點
就大坪林站周邊感覺像這樣的咖啡店似乎不多
