August 2008: Amazon Trip

This year we are Embarking on our biggest challenge. The team has expanded to 15 members rather than just the 8 we started with, and we are going to 5 villages along the Amazon River in Ecuador. Mission Aviation takes supplies and medical aid for emergencies.

We will do a limited scope of medical exams, vision testing and giving glasses, helping their teachers expand their curriculum, and promote dental and personal hygiene. We are planning on painting a church or school house, fixing windows, helping with electrical issues, etc. We are there to enable the villagers to help themselves after we are gone. This we know will give them a hope for their future.

The Missions for Vision Team, although the members may change from year to year, will continue to grow in its efforts to help the people in Ecuador help themselves and give them the love and encouragement that God intended for them.
