I wanted to let you all know that tomorrow I will be starting my new volunteer project with an organization in Quito that works with underprivileged youth. I'm really excited about it and I will have some pics up from the school and of the kids as soon as can. Here is an excerpt from their website that tells what the org does. If you guys feel so inclined you can make a tiny donation of their website and support the project that I will be working of for the next 3 months.

Foundation Ñeque y más Ñeque benefits children and adolescents at risk in the El Comité del Pueblo neighborhood of Quito, Ecuador, South America.
The word ñeque originates from the Quichua word ñiqquiy ormuscle. A person with ñeque is one who is strong and courageous, one who perseveres through difficult times. And this is the objective of Foundation Ñeque y más Ñeque, to strengthen the resolve and resilience of the children who participate in the program so that they may successfully overcome the difficult situations they face every day.
Saludos,
Jon
