Chagas disease in Ecuador

TDI would like to thank the following individuals for their unselfish dedication to the project. Their contributions in the research, training, service and community education constitute an important contribution towards the fight against Chagas Disease in Ecuador and the world.

The work of these young people represents a statement of hope for those than due to poverty and abandonment are not able to help themselves.
