Dedicating the Sarufaya Clinic – November 23rd, 2021
- “When we visited Mano a Mano Bolivia in Cochabamba, we were very surprised when we found out how the financing was obtained [by US donors] to make the project affordable. Now they give us an equipped health center, which was built in a very short time. All this gives us lots of joy.” Ariel Siles Cespedes, Municipal Mayor of Tarabuco (Sarafuya is a town of 1,702 in the municipality of Tarabuco, department of Chuquisaca)
