In Otavalo, Ecuador, The Ali Shungu Foundation. Navidades 2012

Rural children of Ecuador look forward to receiving "navidades", bags filled with animal crackers and candies. Christmas in rural Ecuador is celebrated with the Christmas Eve Mass and a simple meal. Many thanks to Friends of Yambiro on Facebook, Jeanne Billa, Richard Verkley of the “HEARTS OF GOLD" Foundation in Cuenca, the Sage School in New Hampshire and all of the wonderful folks that have contributed to making this Christmas in Yambiro fun for the kids and their families. And thanks to Jackie Brown of Global Citizens Year for teaching the children Christmas carols!
