The Children of Ecuador Foundation has completed several major projects.
In February of 2005, the Foundation supplied $5,000.00 that was used to provide Escuela Una de Octobre and the community of La Florida with their first ever bathroom facility. Two flush toilets, a sink, shower, and drinking facility were provided. Many of the residents and students had to learn how to use a flush toilet. Prior to this project, the students had to go to the washroom over a cliff and in a dugout hole!
In March of 2006, the Foundation funded the building of a second classroom for Escuela Una de Octobre. The previous classroom was made from bamboo and had dirt floors. The new classroom provides the students with a clean, protected area for their daily studies!
April of 2007, the Foundation facilitated a trip for 47 individuals to go to Ecuador to take part in a variety of projects. The group took Bahia by storm in the two week volunteering adventure.
Planet Drum, a local environmental group, took groups out on reforestation projects. Another group painted the emergency room at the community hospital. The third group took the trek out to Escuela Una de Octobre and built a kitchen and eating area for the school and community. They also painted the school and put together a swing set for the children.
This hard work was done by volunteers from the Spruce Grove community. Thank you again for all of the sweat and tears you put into improving the quality of life for all of the people living in Bahia.
