The community is comprised of about 40 people, 20 of
which are children. With no health care available,
average life expectancy is around 45.
The accommodation is basic - a bamboo type dormitory
with no windows, and only mosquito nets to separate me
from the insect world.
After a lunch of chicken and rice, we're taken on a
walk to familiarise ourselves with the flora and
fauna. It's hot and humid, draining me of any energy
to even walk. The mosquito repellent runs off before I
have time to reapply it.
There are weird and wonderful fruits and flowers,
bright bursts of colour hidden in the many shades of
green. Most of these I've never seen before, and many
have medicinal qualities. The Wayusi Yuka seem to find
a use for most things.
