This morning the first set of supplies we brought down were delivered to a daycare in Ecuador, including all of the clothes and stuffed animals. They are still sorting through some of the stuff for older kids, they may split it between a couple of different projects because there was so much stuff.
Thank you to everyone who donated!
This is the letter they sent us:

Donations are an essential part of the work we do. On this occasion we had the blessing of receiving suitcases that not only contained stuffed animals, clothes, toys or didactic material. We felt we received a part of each person that took the time to donate a part of their past life and they also bought materials for children in another country. Chloe Nasser.
San Roque is a Day care center located in old town Quito. Here at Fundación Bolívar Education (www.ecuadorvolunteers.org) we work with them since 2006. It attends mostly children with an indigenous background. They arrive every day at 08:30 to receive breakfast. In the morning they start to learn basic things like going to the toilet or eating their fruits. At 11:30 they receive a delicious and nutritive lunch to later take a nap until their families pick them up around 16:00.
Most teachers are indigenous women with a practical training. We have also volunteers from all over the world to help the teachers and the children. Here you can see some pictures about the center and your donation:
