IVANA BEFORE
Ivana's mother, Johana heard that our Rotaplast mission was in Pereira from a friend. She did not have money for the bus fare, and she missed our opening clinic. Johana arrived at the hospital on Thursday after walking an hour and a half on a dirt road, then on a bus for two hours from the mountains.
