Kiwa Creek

Tuesday, February 4, 2014

Didn't bowl yesterday. Took Judy for a drive in pm. Got as far as Cave Creek. Both M and I now have the cold or whatever bug it is that's going around the park. Makes you feel pretty miserable. Lots of congestion.
Went to bed early to aid in the battle.

One more vignette about Ecuador. I had earlier mentioned about the kiosk the kids had built from some of the grant funds. Well one day some visitors from World Vision came along and wanted to enlist M in their efforts. To impress here they took her for a ride in their very expensive , SUV and toured some of the slum areas waving through their tinted windows at the poor folks that lived in the area. They told her they were impressed with her efforts with the Port hondo kids and felt she could help them. She may have been getting interested but then they showed her a fancy slick brochure that they had produced and circulating. One of the features was the kiosk, it was featured in such away that it appeared that World Vision had provided the funds but had also built it and were helping with the administration. That ended any interest in their organization and she had them drive her back to the park.
