Welcome to Quito!

May 09 2022

Welcome to Quito! We are so pleased and honored to welcome 21 new students to this beautiful country of Ecuador. And welcome to you, who may be following along and supporting our journey from afar.

After picking up students from the airport late Thursday night, we had a wonderful first weekend of orientation together here in Quito!  We can already tell in these first few days this is a special group of 21 young adults, individually and together.  We so look forward to sharing more with you over the next several months as our time in Ecuador unfolds together. Often this sharing will be in the form of photo blogs, (click the link into the gallery for captions) and we’ll also share some longer form writing entries directly from students. Thanks for walking this journey with us!

Bendiciones y abrazos,

Caleb and Nina
