Barranco



Here is a picture of me with one of my patients in a village I visit once a month. The village is about 1 hour and 45 minutes from town. Barranco used to be one of the largest villages in the Toledo district. It is now known as the "dying village" because many of the younger generation are moving to the city to find work. Currently, there is a little over 120 people living in Barranco.

Last week, my mom was visiting me. She arrived on Wednesday, and I kept her pretty busy meeting my patients, going on mobile clinic and getting a feel for what I am doing here. I had a wonderful visit with her and was so glad she was able to come. We had lots of laughs!
