Canoa Beach, January 14-19

With KEP members Colleen Murray and Kelly Erskine. We saw between 2,500 and 3,000 kids for Fluoride Varnish with ACP and toothbrushes all around. Our next outing will be at the Dutch foundation school of Villa Ticca, in South Quito, on January 25.
Joining us will be Donald and Roberta Skinner and their daughter Dana Stefaniak.

The lovely lady with her look-alike Beanie Baby lives in the rural village of Ambache. She has one coffee tree and one cacao tree. She harvests and processes both for her personal use. But, whenever we arrive, she lovingly shares one bag of each with us, to show her appreciation for working in her community. A true act of love, and just one of the things which makes our volunteerism so rewarding.

Auki Tituańa is an Economist and former professor in the Universidad Andina and ex-Mayor of Cotocachi. These photos were taken at his foundation. Other personnel in the photos are Wilson Ruiz, Rankin Skinner and Leonardo Ońa. A bunch of indigenous children were seen for Fluoride Varnish with ACP and were given toothbrushes in the school in Imantag, near Cotocacki.
