Andrea Del Rosario De Leon, CITTI Project Coordinator, has gone ahead of our team to work with our Ecuadorian contacts, smoothing the way for the rest of us!
Hi Everyone!
Greetings from FSD´s office in downtown Ambato. I just wanted to let
everyone know that I have arrived safely and things are well under way
to prepare for CITTI Project Ecuador 2007. I have already visited the
Special Education school and will be heading out to Huambalo tomorrow
with Gladys. Gladys, by the way, is amazing. I can´t wait for everyone
to see her again or meet her for the first time. I feel so lucky to
spend time with her and be able to be here getting things ready for
you all to head down! PS-the past few days have been pretty chilly,
but I will keep you posted on teh weather :) Safe travels to all who
travel soon! To those traveling to Peru, enjoy! Lima can be hectic and
chilly, but interesting. Hope you make it out to Cuzco and Macchu
Picchu. I did that last year before coming to Ecuador and it was
amazing. More updates to come!
