A group of 50 from Utah has just arrived to Quito and will be meeting us in the communities tomorrow afternoon. We are excited to help the people of these communities out as much as we can.
Our planned activities include:
- building a classroom
- building a cafeteria
- building two community brick ovens
- teaching business classes (how to earn money selling bread and artisans)
- repairing community parks
- building new school playgrounds
- a medical campaign
- a wall mural
- remodeling a classroom
- personal hygiene training
- nutrition training
- help with a potato harvest
- computer classes
- making puppets, a puppet theater, and putting on a show with the kids
- teaching the people how to use their local, nutritious crops (quinoa and chochos) to make delicious food so that they will use these crops and be healthier.
- art and games with the kids
- first aid training
Needless to say, we are going to be BUSY these next few days, but we're looking forward to improving the lives of the people in these communities and it will be a great time.
I'll keep you updated on how it all goes!
