Curahuasi’s population takes a stand for Diospi Suyana

Tuesday 18 September 2018

In light of the recent local protests, all of us working at Diospi Suyana hospital have been encouraged by the support that has subsequently rallied by the good people of Curahuasi.  Much prayer went into this and so we see the pendulum swing back.  It is clear more are for us than against us!  Accordingly, here is an article covering this by Dr Klaus John on Tuesday, (albeit with a couple of editorial changes by me to better clarify);
 
An expression of solidarity in front of the missionary hospital’s gates.
After the most recent defamatory statement and local protests stemming from the health centre (Centro de Salud), Curahuasi’s inhabitants have taken a clear stand yesterday morning in a demonstration formed on the Plaza de Armas which then marched the 1.5 kilometres to the Diospi Suyana hospital’s gates.  The Mayor joined in the march thus showing his support for our work.  By means of a megaphone, Dr Martina John spoke to the crowd (and yet again proved her public speaking qualities).

Elsewhere other Curahuasinos were eagerly collecting signatures in support thankfulness for our 11 years of missionary service.
 
A mototaxi seen on one of Curahuasi’s main squares. Translation: “Klaus and Martina, the populous supports and is thankful for you!”
A commission from a local institute visited us yesterday, Monday to say: “We and our pupils back Diospi Suyana unanimously!”
Here is the link to the original Diospi Suyana website article which includes a video link (the dialogue is in Spanish of course); https://www.diospi-suyana.de/die-bevoelkerung-macht-fuer-diospi-suyana-mobil/?lang=en
