Saraguro, Loja Experiences

We are still alive and well in Quito. I am having trouble downloading some photos to share of our extraordinary recent experiences in Saraguro, a very small town between Cuenca and Loja. We met with an indigenous community that has a very unique and successful school which is graduating trilingual students (English, Spanish, Quichua) and preserving cultural traditions as well. Impressive achievement and leadership!

We have had numerous interactions and meetings regarding water projects, schools, literacy....today we are going to help set up a medical clinic. I see a load of medical supplies is waiting for us across the room!

We are currently staying with our Rotarian friends Richard and Lani Miller, and others are staying in homes of Rotarians as well. Our days have been long, but hospitality abundant and genuine. We leave for home in just three days.....I will continue to try to share photos.
