What to Expect Here

I have created this blog for several reasons, the first being transparency.  I want anyone who has donated time or money to this project to be able to see where their generosity has gone. I will be posting pictures, video, and text posts about the day to day with the children in Quito.  I would also like to introduce the children individually, and offer them a chance to communicate with those back in Austin cheering them on! I would love to set up a way for communication to go back and forth between the kids in Quito and my friends at CCOA and in Austin. Lastly, I am hoping that beyond chronicling my time there, this blog will help shed light on the circumstances in which many children find themselves. I hope that by building a bridge between here and there, we can bring them hope, help, and opportunity.
