In 1990, Dr. Linnea Smith began practicing medicine in Peru, on the edge of the Amazon River, and she continues to work there caring for the local people. She talks of life in the rainforest, the evolution of her small clinic and the challenges of attempting to provide medical care in an area lacking basic services, let alone advanced medical technology.

De todos modos muchas gracias por su dedicacion y servicio a esa pobre gente de la rivera del rio amazonas. Ojala nuestro gobierno atienda en educacion servicios sanitarios, salud y guia para una alimentacion mas saludable ademas de tipos de empleo mas rentables y a la vez se reconozca su contribucion a esos peruanos que son tratados como ciudadanos de tercera categoria lamentablemente./ Thanks a lot , you’re doing very well helping our brothers and sisters of that location of the rainforest.

You just misled them saying there are not computers or electricity in Peru. there are not computers neither electricity in the small villages located in the amazon river or some rural areas of the highlands . If you wanted to get volunteers or donations just tell the true. The people know there is an unfair distribution of the wealth in Peru there is a reality of unequality. The people of the cities will have health care services or education and electricity isn’t the case of the rural areas.
