3 meals a day and education…….. My childhood concerns were simple ones; I never had to worry about what I would eat or if I would be warm. I didn’t have to earn my spending money till I was 16. But a different world exists in places on the other side of the globe. Early morning in Quito finds kids out on the streets – going to school if they are lucky, or perhaps going to work selling candy or shining shoes, learning early to provide for family and themselves. They are smart, witty, and free spirited. There is hope in their little hands and hearts - hope for better life. And in a lot of ways, Ecuadorian kids can show us what childhood is about. Their imagination knows no boundaries; their beautiful country becomes ground for their adventurous play. Smiles and laughter are easy to find in the company of friends. There is a light of life in their eyes. They meet the obstacles of life head-on, always striving to live life to the fullest and to hold fast to their dreams.
