Sara Jimenez Angulo was a former mayor of Caraballo Km. 22 and now is a religious woman with the Providence Sisters of Kingston Ontario. There were three nuns who worked at Km 22 north of Lima: Rose, Rose Marie and Irene. These were the best of the missionaries - they lived simply, identified with the people and shared the struggle for justice.
