She's 'Indiana Jones, Mother Teresa, Susan Sarandon' to Peru's poor

Incredible story of a NY model giving her life away for 21 years to become a medical missionary to the Amazon jungles of Peru - despite the fact that she had no medical training.

She now provides opportunities for medical teams to go to the remote areas of the Amazon jungle on foot, by helo, or canoe for trips of 1 to 4 weeks.

Very inspiring.
