The little Things Really Do Matter
Tuesday, 29 November 2011
I love Snickers bars! So rich and chocolatey and with caramel and nouget and peanuts. Just delicious. Well, here they cost about $1.30 each. An Ecuadorian chocolate bar costs 35 cents ( but they do NOT taste like a SNICKERS). Obviously, though, we don’t buy Snickers here. We spend our money wisely, and a $1.30

Happy Birthday Elisabet
Tuesday, 08 November 2011
Elisabet is turning 18 today. She’s never had a birthday cake, a birthday present. I’m surprised she even knows when her birthday is. Not wanted by her mom, so her grandparents raised her, although they did not want to either. But today, we’re going to celebrate Elisabet. She needs to know that someone loves her.

School Supplies Purchased! – Video
Friday, 14 October 2011
Look over Susan’s shoulder as she purchases much needed school supplies, with the help of our little friend Doris, for needy children in the Amazon. This is only a small portion of what was purchased. The purchasing, sorting and distribution of all the school supplies took a week to complete.

Blogs, And The Lack Of.
Thursday, 06 October 2011
There are so many times when we make purchases for children or families, buying food, clothes, school supplies, shoes, that there is no way for us to document in words or photos each of these moments. I would have to stay with the camera to my eye and Susan in front of the computer at all times. 🙂

Sitting at the bottom of the hill next door to our church is a small school in the community of Yantana (Etsa). Just a few days ago the “President” of the community approached us with this formal letter (above) asking if we could help purchase school supplies for the children. Of course we would!
