These photographs were taken in Arequipa, in the south of Peru in 2010. Denise spent six months there, volunteering with a small humanitarian foundation, working with disadvantaged children and their families.
The children were treated in a temporary clinic in the centre of Arequipa; in the largest of the city orphanages; and in the nursery school in a nearby village.
The village is very simple, waterpipes have recently been installed in each street so that water does not have to be carried far to each house.
TESTIMONIALS
I have been patient of Denise’s for more than a year. When we started I was recovering from a major illness which necessitated longterm rehabilitation. Every treatment with Denise is such a wonderful experience, she is very professional and also a very kind and warm person. I cannot thank her enough for helping me to go through a difficult time on my recovery journey. I am going to continue to have treatment with Denise to keep my health in the best shape possible.
In seven months of volunteering Denise showed extraordinary capability in her osteopathic work with disadvantaged children and adults in deprived areas of southern Peru. The quality of Denise’s care is reflected both in the respect and admiration earned from the other medical professionals and humanitarian staff with whom she worked.
