Kirsten Aboard the Comfort #11: Carlos Vives


Carlos Vives visited us while we were in Tumaco, Colombia. At the time we only had a handful of patients left onboard. Carlos took the time and sat with each one and talked with them. He is very personable, friendly and kind. I got a chance to shake his hand and he said "thank you for everything you are doing." Here is a picture of him with one of my patients.

Carlos Vives is from Colombia, and is well known as a recording artist, composer and soap opera actor. He has a style of Vallenato music that has made him well known to the Latin America music crowd. The patients were obviously very happy to have him visit them.
