the Basilica in Old Town

WOW WOW WOW

This year, the Winston-Salem Fellows ventured south on mission to the beautiful land and people of Ecuador

All the Fellows and their Directors had life-changing experiences. Over the next few weeks, we will have Updates shared by the Fellows, highlighting aspects of the trip. Stay tuned. There's lots a great news to share!

Emi got to love on some little ones. She also was Queen of the Court in volleyball, during our day at the Parque!

Thomas was able to use his musical talents. He also built an awesome friendship with a young man named Josue, who I am sure you will hear more about in days to come.

Jazmine took her first international travel experience like a pro. She was amazing with the kids and with a paintbrush!

Callie had a crazy connection with the director of Education = Hope (the agency we partnered with) - They both went to the same elementary, middle, high school, and college! AH!

Callie and Cameron - two instant friends!

Callie was also one of our translators. Her Spanish is muy bueno!

DID YOU KNOW?

Ecuador is the farthest point away from the center of the earth? You are actually 2 pounds lighter there than you are in North Carolina!

So we all lost weight on the trip! Woo Hoo!

Hef was in her element. The weather, the views, the chance to love on some kids, and connect with mothers. She did an awesome job leading!

Lucy was another one of our translators. She did such a fabulous job. She also balanced an egg on the equator!

Molly had a great week. She rocked the paint suit. More so, she rocked loving on our friends from the school called Reypin! Lots more about that!

Reypin was also Meg's favorite part. She has a lot of experience with children with differing abilities and it showed!

Meg is also responsible for so many of our great pics!

Wyatt was also one of our ALL STARS!

He spent an entire morning on a roof as we installed Spanish Tiles!

Ned, too, pitched in where he could.

Over the next couple weeks we will share more...including about this delightful man, Pablo, our bus driver!

Hi Ho Here We Go!
