Medicine at 13,000 feet
In August 2011, I traveled with a medical aid expedition to Huancavelica, Peru. High in the Andes, it’s an area blessed by rugged beauty and plagued by poverty. I was along to document the mission, a collaborative effort among doctors from Peru and the United States that not just brought medical help to the region but also brought people from remote villages to the area’s major hospital. For some patients, the doctors could offer a simple fix and reassurance that everything would be okay; for others, they provided life-altering surgery.

Just two words: Thank you!! I am Peruvian and I can offer my help for your next trip to Peru. You make me cry with the photos. Our country lacks many things, but the people always offer their homes and hearts for shelter.
Thank you very much for your support, Vicky! If you are interested in volunteering, please contact www.pamsweb.org. I'm glad you enjoyed the images!
