title: Remembering Peru: what those who made the journey had to say.
abstract: Each year, the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) Department of Infectious Diseases teams up with Project Amazonas (www.projectamazonas.org), a humanitarian aid organization whose home base is Peru. Together healthcare workers and humanists travel by boat to the wilds of Peruvian Amazon to bring aid and education to a beautifully hidden and underserved world of Amazonian River people.
