Campaigna Medica

Today the nursing team I am with here in Peru went to the town of Chilca for a free medical clinic. We worked under 2 medical doctors, a pediatrician, social worker, psychologist, lawyer (giving free legal advice), gynecologist and a dentist. Over 250 people were served with needed medicines, clothing and good old fashioned attention. I had the honor of giving a video interview with the local police and mayor about why we were there. It was cool to tell them we come down to Peru to be a blessing and end up getting more than we give. And that it's all because of Jesus Christ.

Later in the day the ChildReach staff in Peru talked to the lawyer, who is also the area director for the Canete region of Peru. He asked us to consider coming to Canete to do a medical clinic in the near future. He said the need is great. Over 15,000 people are in need of medical help in the area as well as the suffering that continues following the 2007 earthquake. So without making any promises we said we would consider brining our January nursing team there for a clinic. He said that would be nice but wondered if we could consider coming sooner. He reinforced how great the need is.

Any nurses or doctors out there that want to us their skills and blessings to help the people of Canete?
