Luz Angelica Zaruma, who lives in Polanda 2, rubs a medical cream on her head that is covered with skin cancer. She’s suffered from the skin ailment for over 5 years now. She used to live along at km 60 along Via Auca and remembers Texaco pouring crude oil into the streets and streams they would bathe in. She said at the time she didn’t know the water was contaminated. Due to poverty, she cannot afford the necessary medial treatment, which she would need to receive in Quito.
