Silvia Barrera Vásquez, the Mayor of Lima’s district of Villa María del Triunfo (where this staircase is located), greets community members
and MEDLIFE staff. Silvia decided to attend the stair inauguration after some of her staff members alerted her to the development work MEDLIFE is doing in her district. This marks the first time in 11 years
that any high-ranking public official has visited this community.
