Felicitaciones Patty, personas como usted son muy pocas en la faz de la tierra. Entre 5.000 millones de habitantes hay muy pocas y muy pocos que quieran sacrificar sus vidas como usted lo hace llevando salud y organizando visitas medicas y apoyo en brigadas de salud para cientos de comunidades indígenas del Amazonas...mis respetos y admiración Patty, por su ayuda a esta gente abandonada del gobierno de estos paises inmediatistas y que solo atienden los "visible por la prensa"...

And we as a people elect people who are self serving and greedy to do so little with so much.

Thank you for sharing this video.

All the best to you and yours. *****
