- my new Bolivia show
"Children of the Incas"
This page is still under construction. Here is a
little selection of my newest Bolivia pictures from 1999.
In a village near lake Titicaca I lived with the
Aymara Indians and slowly gained their trust. They are usually
extremely hostile to outsiders.
With a local CARE-leader I went on sick visits in many
homes and discovered the pain hidden behind the Aymaras seemingly
indomitable facade. This woman sat waiting to die from cancer, but
refused to go to a doctor. Instead she laid healing herbs over her
lips.
In the home of this woman one of the children laid
seriously sick, but she too refused to go to a doctor - one of the
reasons Danish Church Aid's huge hospital on the Altiplano is failing
for lack of patients.

winter frozen potatoes.
It was an indescribable experience to walk with these
women on our way to a CARE-meeting one evening on the Altiplano.
