GREETINGS FROM CONNIE VANDERHYDEN, KGAP COORDINATOR
We have some very sad news. We have lost a dear compañera, Petrona Gomez - midwife, mother, daughter,partner, teacher, and friend. Petrona died on November 1, 2023, at her home in Yalambojoch, a village close to Chacula. Petrona was forward thinking in the practice of modern medicine in combination with traditional indigenous practices in maternal healthcare. She was dearly loved by the community and will be sorely missed.
