I got online for a serious amount of time this morning.
I cried
Ecuador and the Province  of Manabi are such special places…struggling with poverty, but making headway.  Last months there were floods, and now this.
The president of Ecuador has been spending massive amount of funds to try and improve schools, roads, healthcare, the electrical grid… and then the price of oil collapsed. Â The currency in Ecuador is the US$, which means that an internal monetary policy is difficult… So Ecuador was financially in trouble before, but now…
My heart breaks.
Things will get better here, but I am heartbroken for Portoveijo  it was a hot, busy, bustling city.  It was vibrant, and exciting and now….
