An occupational therapist, Erika Lezama left Venezuela for Perú with the expectation that she could continue to practice her profession. Having overcome more than a few bumps in her road, she finally landed what she thought would be the job of her dreams at a children’s therapy center located in the most exclusive area of Lima. The challenging experience made her realize the kind of professional she wanted to be.
I am a social worker and an occupational therapist from the Central University of Venezuela. I believe that children can learn by playing. I also believe that teaching them how to face life is a way of changing the world. I have worked in pediatrics in Venezuela and Perú.
