We are heading down the river, and pass a small village where there are several dead bodies on the bank (it is around midmorning). The living villagers are milling around.

We are about a day and a half away from our destination.

We approach the village in TheAmazonia. Chief tells us they are dying of a a bowel disease (cholora). We tell them to boil water, and other hygiene tips. We give them medicine.

We are friends of the people.
