The majority of the people spend their time working the land.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>This community lives far from society, with no internet, no electricity, no easy access to the outside world. For some, it was a 3-hour trek to get to the medical caravan.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>In total about 245 patients were seen by our medical team, 33 by dental hygiene. Many of the women brought their families to be seen as well. Teeth cleanings, filling cavities, and needed extractions were available as well.&nbsp; Workshops were held on the cycle of violence and how violence affects women. Menstrual workshops provided education about menstruation and reproduction. Kits with feminine items were given to women and families.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>On the last day of the caravan, the team served another community of the Secoya people made up of 50 families. They speak their own language, completely different from Spanish. They are renowned for their knowledge of medicinal plants, with traditional uses for over 1,000 different plants. The Secoya now number around 600 people in Ecuador.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>We are so grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve together in various capacities in partnership, creating spaces together to learn, grow and care in different ways.&nbsp; We look forward to continued partnership and learning together with women leading the way!<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\"
