Cupa Community Update and the Jonathan and Stefania Story
Saturday, October 6th, 2012
We arrived in Ecuador on November 1st where I met our other two team members and also very good friends of mine Elham and Matt Watson. My Spanish speaking had to jump into full gear once we could not locate Matt and Elham´s luggage. We got through the little mix up within about an hour ha and then we were on our way to our hostel. It was a little more sketchy than I would´ve liked to greet our new FOA members but they handled it well. We got a few hours a sleep and early the next morning we were on our way to the coast to stay with the Cupa Community. We had such a lovely welcome there. The people are so kind and generous even while living in extreme poverty. We managed without a shower for 2 days as many houses are without bathrooms altogether. We were able to check up on the families that received filters and it was so encouraging to see them continue to use them and filter clean water after 9 months. (more…)
