“Whatever you are, be a good one.” –Abraham Lincoln


Today our group of three ladies started our second week at FUNDAC in Center One. Lucy was finally able to be with her babies, Sue chose 2- and 3-year-olds, and Kay continued with the 3- and 4-year-olds. It was testing day in the classrooms so the classroom tías worked one to one with the children while Sue and Kay tried to keep the children playing with toys. Fortunately for Lucy, the babies didn’t have any testing.

At noon we went to our usual restaurant for lunch only we no longer have to hike a long way. After lunch we all helped Lucy buy baby supplies. We enjoy helping Lucy spend her money. The afternoon was spent changing clothes and combing hair in preparation to go home. Sue is in her second week of perfecting the hand-face wash with special attention to the nose. This is Kay’s first week with hand-face washing but practice makes perfect. It is a good time to tell each child how handsome or pretty they are.

In the evening Maggie took everyone to La Ronda for empanadasand selected beverages. Lucy enjoyed the two-for-one selection of drinks. We all enjoyed strolling down the narrow streets which were the original streets of Quito. On the way home our cab driver drove us around the Basilica for a beautiful night time view. We all bid Maggie “hasta luego” with a promise of making morning meeting.
