Dear Friends and volunteers of the 2015 Ayacucho Mission,
By now most, if not all are back home in USA including those traveling through Peru after the
second week. As we all settle into our daily duties and Ayacucho also settles and becomes embedded in our memory I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you.
It has been my privilege to work with each one of you and experience firsthand your unbeatable desire to help others. Your hard work and willingness to perform your best regardless of circumstances including unexpected conditions that could make others quit but not you. You were exemplary and your efforts made possible the Mission to evaluate and treat over 1,000 patients.
It is amazing just to think that the Mission was able to provide care for such number of people in need under very special conditions and in such a short time. You traveled for many hours and always arrived willing to work. It is with great pride and pleasure I can report that consultations in Tambo and the Regional Hospital along with dozens of life changing surgical interventions were performed without a single adverse outcome. This speaks very highly of your knowledge, great experience, dedication and discipline to perform at your highest regardless of circumstances or limitations.
The Mission also accomplished visits to the Orphanage, Senior Citizen Shelter, and Wasi Esperanza
Rehabilitation Home. It was awesome to see the kids receive the visit and engage with volunteers for a day of fun, sharing friendship and love to the kids as well as the elderly. The training sessions “Helping Babies Breathe” were an outstanding success as well as the Presentation at the Engineering College of Ayacucho.
My dear volunteers you are my “Dream Team” and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your
performance and support to the Mission.
I also like to take this opportunity to invite you all to our Post-Mission Reunion Party on September 6, 2015. All are invited and feel free to bring your family and I wish to see you all or as many as possible. It will take place in Anaheim, (my home) sunny southern California in the middle of Labor Day long weekend. Please mark your calendar and all you have to do is confirm your attendance and you are in.
My dear friends, Once again… Thank you, Thank you!!!
Un abrazo,
Cesar
