Learning about Quito, Ecuador Cancel Se requiere un título

If you have a child in this region of Ecuador,lets get togetther and share how much our children have grown,and to share letters and information.

My child's name is Genesys and she is 8 years old and as of now I don't know too much about her culture except for she likes to dance. If anyone has a child in Quito share some stories about your child!

I have two here. 9 year old Lizbeth she was my first sponsor child. And 11 year old Jessica!

Its awesome to find a letter in the mail isn't it?!

Hello. I also have a six year old Shania who is in Ecuador. I have been sponsoring her since September. I sent her a Christmas box sometime in November and on Tuesday when I checked my mail I got my thank you letter with pictures. I now have her Easter box ready but im wondering if I should send it with the new change, im not sure.

I just sent out Easter packages to all my kids, including those in Quito. So far everyones seem to have been getting through so I took the chance!

Yep thats what im going to do is send it and hope she gets her package. I would hate for her to not have anything on Easter.

I sponsor a 13 yr old boy from Quito. He is a special needs child, he has Down Syndrome. His mother and sister writes his letters. They seem like such a nice family!

Has anyone visited their children in Ecuador? I am in the early planning stages now and wanted to hear how it went for anyone that has done this. Especially if you went to visit both major cities. Thanks!

I'm in the early stages of sponsorship but am already beginning to think ahead about planning a visit to Ecuador. I'm wondering if transportation for wheelchair users exists in Quito or anywhere in the country?

I think websites devoted to travelling with disabilities would be more likely to connect with people who know the answer to this. There might also be issues with air carriers if you have to take regional airlines.

Turns out planning a visit to Quito isn't as difficult as I thought. After speaking to the field office, I was told that CI has wheelchair accessible vans for transport. CI will help plan a day of activities fun for both and assist as much as possible to make the trip enjoyable. Visiting homes would probably be tough though. With that said.... ECUADOR HERE I COME!

Wow! That's so great to hear. :)

I'm sure CI needs the vans for disabled kids and family members, too.

You probably should check the travelling with disabilities websites for info on hotels/restaurants and any issues with regional travel, so there are no unpleasant surprises while you're getting there, like hotels that think they're accessible but have tiny bathrooms or "only 3 steps."

good luck ,,have a great trip

@jenkins I will certainly do that
