Ayacucho Safety

I am looking into doing an intership program in Ayacucho, Peru (staying for 12 weeks) and was just wondering about the safety issues, ie: guerrilla warfare, Shining Paths. Also, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience doing a health clinic internship in Ayacucho? I would love to hear thoughts/stories.

I'm doing a health care placement in Ayacucho also, starting in August 30th 2009. Looking to find people that will be out there at the same time as me??

Shining Path is in the past- the people of Ayacucho and Peru will never let that happen again.

I didn't have a placement in a health clinic but everyone who did loved it :)
