Maria Sanders | Published on 6/8/2026



In this inspiring memoir, Dr. Gonzalo "Gonny" Huaman and long-time PAMS member, shares the remarkable story of his journey from the Andes Mountains of Peru to a fulfilling life in the United States, where he became a respected urologist, philanthropist, and family man.  Raised in a small village, Gonny faced the challenges of culture shock and separation from his family when he moved from Lima as a teenage to attend high school. Yet, fueled by a deep belief in the power of education, he persevered. This memoir invites readers to reflect on their own dreams and legacies, reminding us all that with faith, determination, and a strong sense of family, anything is possible.
