Back to Ecuador Nov 9-16 Please help…

November 7, 2011 by Rachel Elkind

I was in Ecuador earlier this year with the Dando Amor group and was blown away by the generosity of my fellow volunteers and the needs of the kids that are there.  I wrote about it on the blog here:   past blog post.   I am going back because there is more need.  Through the money that was initially raised so much was done; beds and food and utensils bought, roofs repaired, walls and sewage systems built, toys given, portraits taken and laminated and given to each kid. There was also time to play with the kids and time to hold the babies.  Every step of the way we were met with gratitude as well as the need for more then we could give then.   More money has been raised in the past months and I am going back to check on projects, photograph the progress, figure out the best way to spend current funds,  find other orphanages that have not been given help and visit with the staff and volunteers that do so much every day to care for the kids.   Can you donate here on the link to the right of this blog “Chip In”
