quito

Today Nick, Sarah G, Lance, and I went to Tierra Nueva to look into doing June's mission there. It a hospital especially for the poor. This would give MEDLIFE an opportunity to get involved - or at least witness the urban poor vs the mountainess indigenous. The meeting went well, and looks good for all the arrangements.
Gabe and Sarah toured us around their foundation: cenit - this is a great foundation teaching young students, as well as older woman - marketable skills.
We are currently just wrapping up our shopping in Quito, then a good meal, then a LONG TRIP HOME!!
Hope the snow falling in New England doesn't delay our return much!!
Terry

PS we brought 3 patients with us to Quito today, and they are all getting the needed treament!!

Hi Terry and Claire et al,

Hoping you all have a safe journey home. Can't wait to hear more stories.

Snow is kicking our butt right now...and only getting worse through the night into Saturday.
That said, it was 70 on Wednesday.

Hope to see you soon.
Chris
