Preservation
of the Sacred in Bosawas Community Health for Indigenous Communities Project
2003, Time:
4:47 MINS
This
project involves the training of women in health promotion
and natural medicine. Women learn practical skills in order
to provide medical attention to 25 isolated Miskitu and Mayangna
indigenous communities in Nicaragua. Since the project began,
25 women health promoters have assisted over 2000 patients.
The project also provides natural and pharmaceutical medicine
to some of Nicaragua’s most isolated and marginalized
peoples. This video was filmed by Julio Espinoza and Frank
Bessai.
