There is substantial traffic between the town of Andoas—where we discovered two HIV cases—and the river villages whose inhabitants are uninformed of the dangers of HIV infection, and unable to protect themselves. Amazon Promise and ¡Soy Capaz! are ready to continue fighting the threat of an HIV epidemic, but because of the remoteness of the region and the logistical efforts required to reach it, we cannot do so without substantial support from you. Please, help us return to Pastaza and continue working hard to stop the epidemic that might erase many villages from the map.</span><br />To make a donation in support of our next year's expeditions, please visit:<br /><a href="http://www.amazonpromise.org/">www.amazonpromise.org</a></div>About Soy Capazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01101130747666561146noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182470540613603207.post-28746201232185798312009-12-08T11:22:00.000-08:002009-12-08T20:14:53.160-08:00PASTAZA 09<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGk8tPmaEkNxkxJ-yejSXIetIj1-vzcxGGTmi0BYchiuEcRQFmWPCasptf9ENuMhULDbZo_nUM0UiSlYj92Em3h3Cp-KyWhyphenhyphenmUb9xrylsYAny65JF3EX16JqV_Ky8IVYzc3aUtwBi2qSo/s1600-h/Pastaza+09+030.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGk8tPmaEkNxkxJ-yejSXIetIj1-vzcxGGTmi0BYchiuEcRQFmWPCasptf9ENuMhULDbZo_nUM0UiSlYj92Em3h3Cp-KyWhyphenhyphenmUb9xrylsYAny65JF3EX16JqV_Ky8IVYzc3aUtwBi2qSo/s320/Pastaza+09+030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412955165815390562" border="0" /></a><span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;">In the distant region on the Pastaza river,we visited the Quechua, Achuar and Mestizo villages of</span></span></span></span>

Our new video produced by AP and Lazos de Vida generated a discusssion of such topics as self-respect and responsible sexual behavior. In the school, we also continued orientating the teachers and extended our collaboration on HIV-prevention exercises. The teachers received from us a concise guide for an STI-prevention workshop to be conducted in our absence.

<br />WARARAI
<br />After Andoas, our first place to visit was the village of Warari; a place beloved by AP for its people: a very traditional Achuar family who has been inviting and friendly to us since the very first expedition in the 1990's. One of the sons, Puanch, has been traveling with us for the last two years, getting trained as a Medical and HIV Promoter. His village is in the midst of the jungle up the Tunigrama creek where trees whisper, and fireflies flicker at night. After clinic, we were offered not only <span style="font-style: italic;">masato</span>, the fermented yucca drink the Achuar women chew up and spit into buckets, but also the beautiful Achuar masato vessels to keep. It took us the whole day to go up river and back. As we were returing, a storm overtook us on the Pastaza river. Everything suddenly turned into water, including our breath. Soaked and freezing, we finally moored back in Andoas. It was worth every penny.

Our Achuar HIV promoter did the counseling in the language of the community (he also gave out free condoms and demonstrated their proper use). For now, we have thus counseled only the village men who frequently travel to the bigger villages and towns on the river, and thus run a greater risk of infecting themselves and their spouses with HIV. However, we have selected some “opinion leaders” of the community who will continue privately disseminating information about HIV in our absence.

He has suffered from a fungal rash for two years, has genital herpes and kidney stones. The man, frustrated by the fact that the fungus and the other ailments were resistant to treatments, burned the fungus-affected areas with a battery acid three months prior to our visit. We consult him first, and then take him to the hospital to get registered to the antiretroviral program. The man is lucky: he barely manages to get his tests done before yet another Ministry of Health strike occurs to close down the hospitals. However, he is accepted to the program. I spoke to him an hour before I left Iquitos: he was calm and relatively happy as he realized that finally some healing of his run-down body would take place, and that he may begin a better life. He has seen Lupe and Victor, the couple of promoters living with HIV, and their apparent health was a reassuring sight. We will keep checking on him to make sure everything is well with his life and treatment...<br /><br />Victor and Lupe are living with HIV. Active members of Lazos de Vida and trained HIV-prevention promoters, they work with us regularly in Iquitos, help counsel our new patients, give HIV-prevention lectures and are wonderful friends and human beings.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEUUBMecfyuj-tjjPTdzjgMWgnk5xr6U7Akbik7BzvbMRmIVH9Tkem5TWeShniLMM2-KXAEF2tidRhqXtfSDyAk2L-Mnqc4J6qk4kB5DceuJJpcWse6LoZNdUSjp3tNLT8iVUUMaveepI/s1600-h/DSCN4537.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEUUBMecfyuj-tjjPTdzjgMWgnk5xr6U7Akbik7BzvbMRmIVH9Tkem5TWeShniLMM2-KXAEF2tidRhqXtfSDyAk2L-Mnqc4J6qk4kB5DceuJJpcWse6LoZNdUSjp3tNLT8iVUUMaveepI/s400/DSCN4537.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389943572383998850" border="0" /></a><br />Lazos de Vida is an Iquitos association of people living with HIV we have worked with for years.About Soy Capazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01101130747666561146noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182470540613603207.post-62650968874452464232009-10-07T11:56:00.000-07:002010-04-16T13:18:36.890-07:00Pacaya-Samiria Sept. O9 Expedition ResultsDuring the two weeks we spent in the villages on the Maranon river, we took over 100 HIV tests, and gave out 3 000 free condoms. We have trained 5 promoters of health, set up public meetings in each village regarding HIV prevention, consulted teachers on STD education, lectured in schools, and counseled hundreds of individuals and couples. However, our work at the Pacaya-Samiria has not ended: we have set collaborative activities that are to be carried out in our absence. These will not only serve as reminders of the threat of the HIV infection to the public in the villages, but will also provide us with useful feedback on our own activities when we return, in April of 2010. Active collaboration with the local communities on individual, gender, family, school and community levels fashions an intrinsic core of any successful HIV-prevention campaign, and we are happy to report that such collaboration has been established to be developed and deepened in the years to come, gearing toward our main goal: to generate self-sustainable systems of prevention and responsibility in each community we serve.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2keYm4deP4XmVtmyLyNZ8Axl91FOKKCySiNCcZpCs6fqMStkGy24_7o-Ca5o2HJVFSILv0f0saesfN8G80pMsHMx5QFwTXONyBJxRfEhRmGVcjwDXEn04dyb0gO7uQCh4gFsGp553eWg/s1600-h/fotos+sept+09+192.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2keYm4deP4XmVtmyLyNZ8Axl91FOKKCySiNCcZpCs6fqMStkGy24_7o-Ca5o2HJVFSILv0f0saesfN8G80pMsHMx5QFwTXONyBJxRfEhRmGVcjwDXEn04dyb0gO7uQCh4gFsGp553eWg/s400/fotos+sept+09+192.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389934844276342370" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbCNq_EIKB8ZVLJjGkXdHeNUDSCbMXumsewaKrU2B1qmGwi60p8AY4luf38-EWu4UrrypU5MvYEuxySgbJC5ZqDXzr-S4mvh35eyxCJrglQuDUcsC6f2tgPtf5wsAcg16uaLPrGq2RcE/s1600-h/DSCN4710.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbCNq_EIKB8ZVLJjGkXdHeNUDSCbMXumsewaKrU2B1qmGwi60p8AY4luf38-EWu4UrrypU5MvYEuxySgbJC5ZqDXzr-S4mvh35eyxCJrglQuDUcsC6f2tgPtf5wsAcg16uaLPrGq2RcE/s400/DSCN4710.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389934325484361026" border="0" /></a>About Soy Capazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01101130747666561146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182470540613603207.post-50115417503546211442009-10-07T11:07:00.001-07:002009-10-07T11:56:10.874-07:00nature: on the way to clinics and in the jungleThe team in the jungle:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1aW92-JsHOvMfRXjfz4CGHUoaM8xoDCVUsaswPHnAfnd9OpHn1iQyEKY3FIr0gseFpjc1XBJpcO7AF-umwdcLECra3clJ4TQQysX34s_lEYptYIWRGOPu4wmKlaigA18HfYPny0JcMI/s1600-h/DSCN4774.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1aW92-JsHOvMfRXjfz4CGHUoaM8xoDCVUsaswPHnAfnd9OpHn1iQyEKY3FIr0gseFpjc1XBJpcO7AF-umwdcLECra3clJ4TQQysX34s_lEYptYIWRGOPu4wmKlaigA18HfYPny0JcMI/s400/DSCN4774.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389930740720185042" border="0" /></a><br />Those live in the jungle, too.

After our lecture, we move to our HIV, STD and Family Planning desk. Unlike Sector 5 of Belen where we worked yesterday, none of the pregnant women we see from this village have been tested for HIV. About 30 pregnant women are sent to us after they have been seen by one of our doctors. It seems as though the whole village is pregnant. Many women also suffer from STDs. There are others who wish to see us for counseling and testing. An interesting fact: of all the patients we have seen today (about 40), only one is a man. Why? Women generally care more for their health (also because of their frequent pregnancies), though in most cases, the primary reason for their visit is their children's health. Once at the clinic, the women get checked as well. However, this situation may not be the same in each village, as we shall see later, in the villages in the Pacaya-Samiria reserve on the river Marañon where we are going to operate next week.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZg0gzFIfKH-5SSXE_7q8m3Waby_iOoQh4mu32GuC3VzA-waqog2OUwaH_p-IPt9XXN-zfLHTc_nMdofENQqjDHPlwcalhokMBoXZYf3FZviWVI9ZOtKAhWspM0qr0i1ZJBblrydmkiYs/s1600-h/DSCN4464.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We have eight great medical students from Yale and the King's College in London who work with a staff of Peruvian doctors. It is humid and still very hot, but everyone works at full speed regardless, from eight in the morning till eight in the night, attending to the underserved population of the "city on water" of Belen (its proximity to the river causes that during winter, the water reaches all the way to the doorsteps that are actually six or seven feet above ground, and so each house stands on pylons. We usually find a place for our clinics underneath the houses at this time of the year.)<br />Public HIV prevention lectures are an integral part of the health care Amazom Promise provides, and so we are on the grounds each day early in the morning. Our promoter works with promoters from a local organization, Lazos de Vida that consists solely of people living with HIV. These local heroes and heroines go out to lecture, do outreach in hospitals, lead support groups, and constantly appeal to the local government to support the fight against HIV. Some positive changes have been made: free condoms are available in the medical centers and hospitals in the city if Iquitos. Last month, for the first time, HIV testing occurred at some of the medical centers (HIV testing is performed regularly and for free now in the two state hospitals). Nevertheless, we are faced with a full-blown HIV epidemic here in the city of Iquitos. Amazon Promise thus not only organizes public lectures, but also performs HIV testing, counseling, and does referrals to hospitals for antiretroviral treatment.<br />This time, it is Victor from Lazos de Vida together with Elena from Amazon Promise to do the work, together with Puanch, an Achuar tribe Health Promoter who is continuing his training with our team. His presence here is very exciting, since when he is trained in HIV prevention, he will be able to convey the message to his people in their own language. We see many STD infections, and we test those patients for HIV. We did have a fourteen-year-old girl at our counseling table...<strong></strong>About Soy Capazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01101130747666561146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182470540613603207.post-17662390933584061822009-09-06T09:31:00.000-07:002009-09-12T10:19:48.059-07:00in Iquitos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZGAe5J1MBFsNuki9JWAPimgQKKVlA1ZZCNj18oIHcHbb8PcPVrbsVEfaqLsdZSbfCSM25IBHrQAzAy7-4AzTzAV0xU6XizLznJZANQu4qKmU1YX4i818GVPO_8q-DtRyx-loyXh70Oso/s1600-h/DSCN4474.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZGAe5J1MBFsNuki9JWAPimgQKKVlA1ZZCNj18oIHcHbb8PcPVrbsVEfaqLsdZSbfCSM25IBHrQAzAy7-4AzTzAV0xU6XizLznJZANQu4qKmU1YX4i818GVPO_8q-DtRyx-loyXh70Oso/s320/DSCN4474.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380631506383510754" /></a><br />An Amazon Promise banner against HIV<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZzFonalPqu0BaybWJ2Wr64BoaHN6dmC4JM1DKAz29Xmciw4HFVGCi43Ejd23_ra4A8CqG8tj8AZ0T2sp1XaGLpyk4sd1DH11gwfWHknaEAM5JviTiE5ItwlDsdzo4-tFHrjaMGm9z0cU/s1600-h/DSCN4466.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZzFonalPqu0BaybWJ2Wr64BoaHN6dmC4JM1DKAz29Xmciw4HFVGCi43Ejd23_ra4A8CqG8tj8AZ0T2sp1XaGLpyk4sd1DH11gwfWHknaEAM5JviTiE5ItwlDsdzo4-tFHrjaMGm9z0cU/s320/DSCN4466.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380630450405174898" /></a><br />Belen, the poorest part of Iquitos<br /><br /><br />The headquarters of Amazon Promise are in Iquitos, the jungle city in the midst of the Peruvian rain forest. It is hot and humid here as usual, or even more so, as I hear the Iguiteños complain (the coplaints about the heat are an indelible part of the local culture; however, this time they may be justified--it is over 100F daily and over 90% humidity). On the way from the airport, the taxi driver tries to avoid the morning motorcar and motorcycle traffic coming on us from every direction, all at once. We end up in Belen, the poorest part of the city, and I am instantly reminded of how life happens here: the shanty shacks whose rotten doors lead to dark, dirty corridors with empty rooms, the dessicated grandmas sitting on the doorsteps chewing on a piece of mango skin, the nothingness of powerty...this juxtaposition with the world I have just come from cannot be more pressing. After I arrive, Lupe, one of the local HIV promoters and a woman living with HIV for four years, informs me of this year^s inofficial count of HIV infections and deaths in Iquitos : over 200 cases registered at the two hospitals where antiretrovirals are distributed, and counting. This is a very rough estrimate since no one accounts for the men and women who are living with HIV and have never been tested, or have never been registered...time to get to work!About Soy Capazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01101130747666561146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182470540613603207.post-33158279396635587462009-07-10T14:15:00.001-07:002009-07-10T14:28:25.505-07:00Dear Friends,<br /><br />We appreciate your support of Soy Capaz.
