The Canada Covenant Ecuador team is thrilled to be in Ecuador again - we all made it safely and have been enjoying connecting with our friends and long-time partners, as well as seeing some tourist sights and taking in the beauty of the country. We've had an incredible time meeting the staff of both Casa Hagar Children’s Home (for at-risk children) and the Santiago Medical Clinic.
Carlita gave us a tour of the home and introduced the staff to us and described for us the home's holistic approach to creating a loving and nurturing place that provides shelter, education, and emotional support to children who have faced the challenge of abandonment, neglect, or abuse. The staff's love and stability provides a home where the children, ages 2 to 17, can grow. The Santiago Partnership enables the staff at the home to work toward reuniting children with their biological families, if healthy to do so.
Thank you for your prayers and faithful financial support of Casa Hagar from its very beginning.
As you have been reading for the past few weeks, this fall’s Ecuador Appeal has been focused on our partnership with the Santiago Medical Clinic in Cayembe: the Medical Clinic is a beacon of hope, providing essential health services in a region where medical care is sparse.
From routine checkups to life-saving treatments, the dedicated staff ensures families receive the care they need. Lucy, the director and dentist at the clinic, shared multiple stories with us this week of how the clinic's presence and staff are meeting the immediate medical needs in the neighborhood where the clinic resides.
Please join the Canada Covenant Ecuador team and President Rob Peterson in making a financial gift to our Ecuador appeal. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to support the Medical Clinic in acquiring updated preventative pharmaceutical supplies, providing medical caravans that offer mental wellness assessments and preventative exams in rural communities, as well as medical care for the children of the Casa Hagar Children's Home. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference in the lives of our sisters and brothers in Ecuador. God bless.
