Quito, Ecuador: Day 2

My friends have expanded their foundation to serve children of impoverished families (many live without running water or electricity and sometimes become orphans because families can't afford to care for them). Today we shopped for groceries to feed 270 children in Pisuli tomorrow. It is a special event for the children where they get to have lunch, popcorn, and pop, and watch a movie in the park. This is a HUGE deal since many of them have never gotten to experience popcorn and a movie (as well as a meal). This video is the "camp" where we took the groceries today and where we will prepare 270 sandwiches and pop popcorn tomorrow before the big event.

So now that I plan to wear pants here, I might have to change the title of my posts to "Stye in My Eye in Shanghai" (to explain why, in all my pics, I will look like Quasimodo.) If only I knew of a place where I could buy cheap knock-off sunglasses...
