2008 TLC Trip to Ecuador--Part 1

The Ecuador Team arrived in Quito on Thursday, March 13th. On Friday, Kyle turned 18, and through contacts with Phil Payne and Youth World, they made sure he had a birthday cake!

This was also the day that they got to see Quito. As you can tell there were many photo opportunities! On Saturday, the group had a workday at Youth World Camp. On Sunday, March 16th, they attended an international church, helped feed the poor in Quito and attended a HS International yough group meeting. They left Sunday night and traveled by bus to the jungle. Then they got into a VERY large canoe(it held all 46 of them) with their gear and supplies traveling in two more! They canoed down the river to the village where they would begin their work! Enjoy the pictures and stay tuned for Part 2 tomorrow!
