Located in Guayas province, Santa Lucia received the energies of CAF, University of Pacific and the Ecuadorian navy. The super team had 25 local volunteers for Charity Anywhere, 2 Dentist from Tijuana-Mexico, 25 from the navy and of course 47 from UOP. We were 99 in the super team with Doctors, Dentists, Nurses, Students and security provided from the navy.
A wonderful trip to learn for the students about the Ecuadorian people and their culture.
A great experience of a lifetime.
Food, accommodations, transportation and clinics were good.

“Sometimes in life, you take the simple pleasures for granted: hot water, food and health. Coming to Quito and Santa Lucia made me realize, how lucky my life really is.
It is amazing to me how the people of Ecuador maintain happy faces despite how little they have” Thao (University of Pacific)

We had a hard work, helping to 6600( six thousand and six hundred) people our final goal. Also we found 75 cases of harelip and clip palatal. We have continuing, helping this people in Quito and 5 of them received plastic surgery supported for Charity anywhere.

This opportunity in Ecuador helping the less fortunate in Santa Lucia and our contribution did this expedition successful. Thanks so much to all those that worked so hard along the way, UOP, Navy, CAF local volunteers and Idaho Base, Tijuana Dentists making this trip unforgettable.
Hope we will join again next year.
