A team of 24 from Omaha, Nebraska is hard at work in Quito, Ecuador helping out with many ER projects and partners. Half of the team is doing construction - building a house for Maria, Segundo, and Diana. They are a family that has been working at the Quito dump for many years. The home will really impact two families. The new home will allow the second family move into Maria, Segundo, and Diana’s existing house. Maria said each day seems like a dream. Their grandchildren are having fun with the team and are pitching in on the work. The house dedication is set for Monday the 10th of August. The team plans on buying beds, stove, sofa, dinning room table, pot & pans, and food for the dedication.

The non-construction part of the team has done a program at the Betania Old Folks Home, taken the children from the Zambiza Day Care Center to the Zoo, and will be doing a Kids Program at Nuevo Amigos. The team is being joined by the boys from Casa Gabriel (home for former street boys). These boys are doing a fantastic job serving with the teams; two are with the construction team and seven are with the non-construction team. The non-construction team will also do some painting at the Casa Gabriel house. It is awesome to see the boys impacting lives.
