Honrar la Vida

¡Saludos! We just finished two days of workshops at Fundacion Honrar la Vida - a school in Quito that works with children who live in very difficult circumstances. We have worked with them in the past and always receive a warm welcome. In this project we have been doing theater games, an cultural exchange project, and murals with some of the students. There are two small murals that we painted 6 years ago that we are redoing, since they don´t hold up well in the Quito sun. We have also had a chance to talk to some of the children and get to know them. It´s important for all of us to realize the huge obstacles that these children are facing, such as drugs, alcoholism, violence, family problems.
Tomorrow we are doing a workshop with the teachers of the school, who never disappoint us with their hard work and love for the children.

After we finish at Honrar la Vida, we will be heading out of Quito for the countryside.
