Huaraz to Lima by flight

While the U.S. obsesses over the Iowa Straw Poll, China finally brings prophylactics to the people, and Peru holds a fierce breast-feeding competition.

A man in Brazil works with road kill, Ms. Peru loses her title and may or may not want to sleep with Lewis Black and people in China seem to be learning how to speak like him.

PISCO, Peru, 3 January 2008 -- Survivors of the earthquake that devastated Peru in August of last year are still desperately in need of help. There are roughly 24,000 people still living in approximately 100 camps, waiting to return to their homes. "I'm living here at the camp with my three daughters," said Maria Pacha Chavez. "We are 40 affected families amounting to 162 people between children, the elderly, men and women." In response to recurring health problems in shelters, a UNICEF-supported initiative is educating children about hygiene and sanitation in order to prevent disease. A group of actors known as The Kallpa Group visits the camps to perform entertaining presentations involving characters such as Mrs. Latrine and Mr. Cleanliness.

CHINCHA, Peru, 7 April 2008 -- Still recovering from a devastating earthquake last summer, the children and parents of Chincha do not take nutrition for granted. In this region, chronic malnutrition affects up to 12 per cent of the population between the ages of six and nine. A recent study found that nearly half of the children of Chincha suffer from anaemia. UNICEF has established 135 nutrition centres, known as Integral Protection Modules, in Ica, Pisco and Chincha -- three of the most quake-affected provinces. The mothers who use them have been trained to prepare the papilla, and many of them also take advantage of counselling services at the centre. Meanwhile, at the region's 35 UNICEF 'ludotecas', or playrooms, children find an outlet to release their energies and dispel their lasting fears. As many as 97,000 children lost their homes in the earthquake. There are only a few camps for the displaced remaining in Chincha; most families have returned to shantytowns outside of their former villages.
