Dr. Cooper at Shalom

All the children at the shalom project are being seen by Diocesan Dr. Townsend Cooper who arrived in Peru last year. He sets up clinic once or twice each week to check the children and even does some lab work for parasites and haemoglobin. Once all the children have been seen those most vulnerable will be checked and monitored on a more regular basis. Special diets have already been designed for some children with cerebral palsy and autism to help their weight gain and development.
