I still don't have all the dates finalized for places that we will be visiting, but at least I know where we're going.
The primary place we are going to visit is called the "Working Boys' Center: A Family of Families" in Quito. This is where we will be staying and is our "home base". Click here to visit their website.
One day we will be visiting a place called "House of Wisdom" in English - it has an indigeneous name which I can't remember right now. Basically it's a center that works with native peoples and they are trying to preserve native handicrafts and skills such as weaving, jewelry making, etc.
Then on one day, we are making a side trip over to Guayaquil to visit Casa Damien which is a hospital/clinic for patients with Hansen's disease (leprosy) and Nuevo Mundo, a school with a unique model which offers education for the rich (they pay tuition) and very poor (who come for free)sharing the same facilities, staff, etc.
