My daughter in law started a charity in Ecuador see details below
in her words.
"I have spent a lot of time in Ecuador as I have set up a charity called
the Mashi Foundation. It is registered with the Charity Commission in
the UK and we work with children living in
poverty both in urban and
rural areas of Ecuador. You can find more
information about this by

Anyway a large container she sent recently has just arrived and here are
some of the photo's they sent back to us. Sarah had spent many months
trying to organize the paperwork alone, with trips to London & embassies
too. Her poor mother had to put up with a bedroom completely full of large
boxes for months too lol. We all rallied round, friends & relatives to donate
any unwanted clothing, shoes,bedding & also toys ,lots of things really.
She also bought some uniforms & boots for the firemen in the village who
help with the distribution of goods and have been such a help to her. That was
a surprise so they must have been thrilled too.

Sarah also makes lovely jewellery which she sells to give further aid to these
poor children & families. See the Wapa-Wapa link on sidebar or HERE for
more details of her jewellery . Here are a few photo's anyway :)

You must be very proud of your daughter-in-law, such people are a blessing to this world, who selflessly give time, energy, devotion and love to helping others less fortunate than ourselves. It brings everything back into perspective when you see pictures like these.... I know we are going through a hard time in the UK right now but most of us should thank our lucky stars that we aren't born into poverty and hardship like those in the "third world"....... Thank you Sarah for being you and making me realise how fortunate I am.... There by the Grace of God go I!
