Our experience in Ayacucho has been unforgettable and truly wonderful. We specifically remember a mom who came to our clinic because her daughter had a foot infection. The mom had walked two days from the jungle with the daughter who had an infection and her younger daughter on her back. Amazingly, they had not eaten for two days. It was an extraordinary case of strength and perseverence. Thankfully, everything went well and the mission was able to finance their stay in Ayacucho, as well as their return to the jungle. What we have learned here in Ayacucho will forever change our lives.
