(Below is an email that I sent to FWCD parents on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 at 6:53 pm from the little village of Romerillos, Ecuador. I was part of a construction team - 12 students and three teachers -building a day care center for approximately 100 families south of Quito in the Andean highlands. We worked at about 12,00 feet.)
Friends:
We completed the second floor today!
Tough day. Lots of concrete. Lots of buckets of dirt and rock.
But all worth it.
I've attached a photograph of little Eduardo. Look at him closely. Look at his face and his new purple backpack. As part of a student's Eagle Scout project, we presented the children of Romerillos with backpacks filled with necessities.
Doesn't little Eduardo look proud? Happy. He has a new backpack.
This is why we are here!
Take care. We are fine and happy.
Regards,
Bill
