Medical Project (Peru, 1999 and 2000)

Dr. Violet Shadd and Tidlund organized a medical project in the villages along the Rio Napa a tributary of the Amazon. The foundation organized a base camp in Mazan, Peru.  Each year a clinic was then set up and a clinic in a one room school in the small village of Bello Horizonte. Hundreds of children and adults were treated at the school and the clinic by a medical team composed of Dr, Violet Shadd from Canada, Dr. James Flores medical director of the Mazan clinic and a dentist, Eduardo from Mazan.  We also had the assistance of a microbiologist, and nurses Yvette, Grace, Karen, Maria, Glorias, Llunely, Clara and Silva from Peru.

Many thanks to the Peruvian Medical Team, and to Dr. Jose Cabanillas for organizing accommodation for us at the Isulu Biological Research Station. The clinic was successful in treating many Peruvians in supplying pharmaceutical and educational materials.

A partnership writing exchange program was set up with the grade two children at the Calgary Waldorf School in Calgary and the children in the school at Bello Horizonte in the Amazon.
