We were hosted by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth in Chuschi. The Jesuits asked this community to establish a catholic presence in this pueblo after a terrible decade of terrorism during the Shining path period in the 80s and 90s. Little by little the sisters with their faith and perserverance are gaining the trust and respeçt of the people who were abandoned during the time of terroism.
