Is There A Librarian Whe Reads This Blog?
We are looking for a librarian who would like to come to Salasaca and show us how to run a library. We now have enough books where we need a good filling system. Can anyone recommend a program for a small library that would make the job easier? We would appreciate your advise and your help.
Alo....
This picture is dedicated to all of the volunteers who have been here. We had an electric storm a few nights ago and it was my wish that one of the bolts would take out this tower....But when the storm passed the tower was still there.

Yes....You can help.
As the months fly by and we close in on Christmas, I would like to offer you an uniqe opportunity to help.
I came to Ecuador three and a half years ago without any real plan. I just took things as they came and if you have been a long time reader of this blog you have seen that everyday has been an adventure. I don't know why I ended up in Salasaca but through fate or happenstance I am here and it feels like I am doing exactly what I am supposed to doing.
Our volunteers have been wonderful and as one of them said in a recent e-mail, "the two weeks spent in Salasaca go down as the best two weeks of her South American adventure. That feeling seems to be the rule rather than the exception.
The expenses for the projects here are funded solely by donations. We receive no government support, (nor do we want any), and survive solely on donations. Most of these come from family and friends of the volunteers who have spent time here. We are grateful for their help.
We have three paid employees who are paid by the foundation, Clemente, Fabiola and Fanny. We do offer the volunteers a place to stay and make sure that they do not go hungry, however they all seem to want to help and contribute to the food supply.
We are making a difference here in Salasaca and could really use some additional help. If by some chance you feel drawn to the donate button in the right had side of the page, we could use your help. A donation of any size will be appreciated.
