This is a very remote region of coastal and mountainous jungle where the only means of getting from A to B is via canoe on the river. The people are either of an aboriginal group called the Chachi, or are aftro-Ecuadorians. Poverty is extreme, by our standards. If they have a roof and food to eat today, they're OK.

what amazing and kind things you do to help people who are in need of medical attention.
the pictures are really good, and i think no. 4 of the little girl getting examined is the best.

Many years ago I did a few medical missions. The one in Mozambique will forever be the one I remember the most. The people would walk for miles and sit for as long as needed to be seen and never once complain. So very different from the US. You really feel like you've done something good that's really appreciated. Also makes you very appreciative of what we have here. They live with so little.
