I wasn't looking for what I received in Malingua Pamba, Ecuador.  I knew a lot about the project and the amazing possibilities of volunteering in such an amazing place.

The place was beyond amazing, hauntingly beautiful...but it was the people experience that I could not have imagined.  Meeting the community and the surrounding communities as well, went

to a place that you just don't know, that you don't know....that entire families could be so clear eyed, direct with their love and approval.  I left Ecuador energized, moved and altered.  I mean altered.

My DNA re-arranged....the effect lasting...jump in!
