For many years we held clinics in three villages in the northwestern highlands - Acal, Granadillo, and Bella Vista. The men in those villages had all been rounded up and killed and the women raped. The villages were only women and children. The widows refer to their children as "gifts from God". C&C greatly appreciated. Velvia was probably not the best choice, but it's what I had!
