Building Friendships

Through Adopt-A-Village International I had the chance to go to Ecuador and experience how people live in another country. With Adopt a Village's help, our group went to a village in Cayambe, Ecuador and painted a communities school. We played with the children. It is truly amazing how privileged we are by just being born in the United States. Through these children I learned that happiness does not come with possessions or money and these kids proved that to me over and over again. Plus it was incredible how even though we both speak different languages and neither of us can communicate in that sense we could still understand each other and build friendship without having to talk.
