José – Don Chema

José Montoya is close to 80 years old and has been a farmer for
all his life. He has seven children. Known as Don Chema, he has plenty of energy, lifts everyone’s spirits with his guitar, and isn’t a bad singer either.

Each time Don Chema visits the clinic, he brings the beans he harvested. He has gone through a process of corrective healing for almost 3 months.
