Libby and I have been formulating some plans for the next couple years. We were especially interested in working as site directors an an orphange in Ecuador. It was not to be, though! They side-swiped us today, saying it would cost $11000! This was surprising, because we were under the impression that it would be quite cheap if not free. Well, that was a miscommunication (another position indeed was free...), and we are back to the drawing table!

I am so very sad for those precious children. But it will all work out for your benefit of that I am sure. Darn, I was planning to join you for Otavala sp? and the Amazon forest. Oh well there will be other adventures.
That's crazy--you give your time and talent and energy as volunteers and they ask that you also contribute $11,000? How did they come up with that idea? Okay...time to pivot in another direction. You'll find another great way to invest your time. Love, Dad M
Yeah, so frustrating. Libs, apply to that position in Guatemala!
ooooh.....Guatemala sounds good too! I'm sure you will find something equally as exciting...it's never fun to have bad news...but something good will come of it! love you two.
Man, the first time i skimmed over it I thought it said $1100, and I thought - lame. Then I saw $11,000!! What are they thinking, i mean seriously. What type of people are they expecting to come down there - Angelina Jolie? What a rip off, I hope you or Mark gave them a pice of your mind. if they are charging that much - I am kinda wondering how honest this orphanage is.
so sorry guys.......
