Little something…

March 12, 2007 by will.krzy.

I have been very busy in the past week and haven’t been able to make a post. This one will be condenced since I have very little time.

I just got back from a week traveling around to 3 communities teaching about the importance of hygiene. Some of the projects have recieved clean water, but need some more instruction on how to take full advantage of having this resource. It was a tremendous experience and the interaction with the people was so much fun. Tannia, who I went with, is an Ecuadorian from Ambato, who graduated from hope college. She is in charge of hygiene education in the Clean Water Projects department. Me and Ali Dykhouse (fellow Calvin Grad and HCJB working visitor) traveled with her, and I realized the extreme importance of this ministry. Not only is it teaching, but its building positive relationships in the communities that encourage and build trust.

I attended a Quichuan church service. We were asked to sing the song “I have decided to follow Jesus” in English, which was then sung in Spanish, then in Quichua. 

Lots of other stories, but I have to cut it short. The first image is of me and ali wearing some of the traditional clothing. I wish I had one of some of the Quichuans but I don’t feel comfortable point my camera at them. The second is Ali and Tannia leaving La Pacifica. The one right below is an image of the highlands above Pueblo Viejo. Ali is brushing her teeth or something. Hope you enjoy… will
