WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
Our recent missions showed how much needs to be done. The list is enormous. Equipment shortage is acute. One hospital is closed, the Juanjui Hospital for the Poor. Those needing surgey or acute medical intervention can not afford to travel to the nearest full service hospital in Tarapoto, three hours away over rough roads. Thus many die who could be saved with earlier detection and intervention. You can help. Email us and ask how.
EYEGLASSES NEEDED
Please send eyeglasses, no longer needed, to our office. They can be used in Peru by our eye care program.
