~~~~ Good News of the Day: Nearly 21 years ago, Patty Webster landed her dream job as an adventure tour guide in the Peruvian Amazon. But as she shared the area’s beauty and culture with tourists, she realized there was a darker side to the rainforest paradise. “I saw how poor they were and realized that people were dying because they didn’t have medical care,” Webster said.
