Scott and Linda Perry will lead a dental team to Ecuador August 18-28, 2010. Roger Allan will be the lead dentist. They will operate a four day dental clinic in the Pedro Moncayo region which is located about an hour and a half north of Quito.

Located at an elevation of about 10,500 feet, the terrain there is mountainous (green and beautiful) and the weather is cool and comfortable. The region is known for its huge cut-flower industry and in fact Ecuador supplies about one third of our nation’s roses. (They love Valentine’s Day down there!) They will also spend about four days at a jungle lodge exploring all the things this unique region has to offer. The cost of this trip is $3,100 and is inclusive of travel (from the Colorado Springs, CO area), hotels, food, etc. (All you’ll need to bring along is some cash for shopping.) There are four spots left.


It is difficult to convey the satisfaction and enjoyment that we have received on these trips. The Ecuadorian people are wonderful and are so appreciative of our efforts. For many participants, these trips are life changing experiences. The pictures shown were taken during their last trip so that you may have an idea of what you can expect.

Adopt-a-Village International is a 501 (c) 3 public charity, so the majority of the expense of this trip is tax deductible. We have no paid staff and welcome new volunteers who wish to help in various activities here in Colorado Springs or in Peru and Ecuador where we adopt villages for a period of five years. Our model is based on sustainability – we provide a hand up rather than a hand out. Please visit our website at www.adoptavillageinternational.org for more information.
