Since 1970, the year of the big Peruvian Earthquake, where
upwards of 40,000 were lost, Dr. Carlos Sanchez has been going back to the
Jungles of Peru to help his people at the place of his roots.
The native people living in the remote villages in the mountains and
along the Amazon and other rivers that feed it are somehow left out for
medical attention. So Dr. Sanchez has organized small medical teams from the
US and Peru along with donated medicines and equipment to make a difference
in their lives and perhaps renew their hope. Lives are being saved by him
and other caring physicians from around the world who have heard this special
calling.
On this site we hope you get a sense of the importance of this mission so
that you, just might be a angel of support with your caring.
Dr. Sanchez has written an exciting book on his life story which allows us a
unique insight into life in these remote jungles and highlands of Peru. It
is written with passion as he sees himself as the "Free Flying Condor" and
takes us from his life as a young officers son of mestizos bloodlines
(Indian and European) through his incredible journey to Medical School in
the United States and back to these same jungles. He is one who is giving
all that he can to the people that he loves. You'll travel right with him
through dangers in headhunter land to unbelievable passages on the dangerous
rivers at the head waters of the Amazon . As a young man he felt the joy of
being at one with the land and animals and you sense his great love for this
treasure of the Amazon. You'll feel for the plight of these all but forgotten
people of the jungle who once lived as proud Incas but now have seemingly
lost their way.
Take a minute to get an update on the project and who knows... maybe your
can help. Dr. Sanchez has dedicated all the proceeds of his book plus
thousands of his own money to these missions. His dream is to finance a
hospital ship that will travel the rivers of Peru and be available on a
regular basis to provide medical help to these native people.
