On Sunday and Monday, the team will be at a new orphanage called Fundacion Ganas. It's in pretty bad shape. We are trying to purchase a washer and dryer for them since the kids do their own laundry by hand and dry it in the sun. Lice do not get killed this way, since the water (by hand) is not hot enough. We have enough, I believe, to purchase the washing machine, but not the dryer. The total amount needed is $1200. If you feel led to contribute, you can go to the Visiting Orphans website www.visitingorphans.org . They have a donation page with a pull-down menu. There's an option for "Ecuador washer and dryer". The option will be available until Friday, since we need to buy the machines on Saturday. If you have ever wondered how to contribute in a tangible, exact sort of way, this is it. A washing machine and a dryer make a huge difference in the quality of life for these orphans.
Thanks for following along and praying with us. The team hasn't been heard from today, and if I see anything on the crazyloveecuador.blogspot.com , I'll be sure to post again.
