Devoted Service Relieves the Agony of Disease
Day four. Iquitos, Peru. Humidity, humidity everywhere and not an inch of me is dry. The hand-drawn sign welcomed us to a local church with a dirt floor to our clinic space for the day. The outer skin of the building was wooden planks and corrugated metal. No windows. No air circulation. Only humidity and bodies and sweat and smells.

Day one. Iquitos, Peru. Spending time with the children at Poppy's House. Cutting down coconuts, chopping into the good stuff, and jumping rope with the best of them. I feel refreshed by the laughter, smiles, and cool coconut water fresh from the nut. Happy and beautiful girls live here.

Iquitos Peru
The People of Peru Project, a US 501c3, is providing aid to the region of Peru that is located at theheadwaters of the Amazon River. Iquitos is a city of 700,000 people surrounded by thousands of square miles of jungle. Poverty, 62% live below poverty level, and all that comes with it plague this city. Disease, parasites, malnutrition, rampant tooth decay, and premature death are a part of daily life. As in any developing country, with conditions like this, the children suffe
