TV interview of Dr. Caceres in Bolivia, marking the publication of the memoir's Spanish edition, PROMESA CUMPLIDA: bit.ly/3GdPuQI
One only needs to stand in the plaza, near the shadow of the Virgen del Socavón, raise a hand skyward to place a fingertip on a cloud floating in the brilliant blue sky above, in order to feel God’s touch in return. Thus begins this fast-paced, dramatic memoir that illuminates the life of Bolivian born, accomplished New York City plastic surgeon, Dr. Raul Caceres: his rags to riches immigration story; his service in the U.S. Army; his complex medical journey; his rich family life; his spiritual odyssey that includes an inspiring, proud, promise fulfilling return to his hometown of Oruro, Bolivia, where he builds the TIWANAKU PROJECT, a burn unit that has treated over 1,000 indigent adults and children at little to no cost since its opening in 2010.
