• Ecuador shows its strength – Ecuador demuestra sus fuerzas

    Posted on April 20, 2016

    A country’s strength is shown by the character and unity of its people.  images

    Once upon a time the name of this small country, located in the southern hemisphere of the Americas, was hardly ever heard of.  I recall people would ask:  where is that?  or they would say:  I have never heard of it.

    It was the first country to ever advertise and demonstrate the beauty and pride of its people during the Super Bowl, All you need is Ecuador

    This past weekend, as a result of a 7.8 earthquake that shook the country,  the entire world by now has seen and heard of Ecuador.  Yes, we are witnessing the vast damage that has trickled in by the media, those affected the most has been the people of the province of Manabi.  But, we are also witnessing how the ecuadorian people are joining forces to help one another, calling upon one another to help those who have been impacted severely, traveling the many miles to take food, water, medicines, while neighboring countries send their professionals to support the tired local firefighters, police, medical staff; they send heavy equipment to remove debris that may be covering those who may still be alive or those needing to have their final farewell by loved ones.

    In all of this, Ecuador and the people of Manabi stand strong, supportive and loving.  They will build Ecuador stronger than ever.  We can all do our part in our own way.  If you would like to help, you may drop non-perishable items at locations listed below.  We are seeking financial donations in preparation for the work to be done months ahead, you may make a deposit in our account at any Chase Bank.

    La fuerza de un país se ve por el carácter y union de su gente.

    Hubo un tiempo cuando el nombre de este país pequeno, localizado en el heminsferio sur de las Americas, casi no se conocía.  Recuerdo cuando muchos preguntaban: y a donde queda ese? o decían:  jamas lo he oído nombrar.

    Este fue el primer país que tubo la iniciativa de promover su belleza y orgullo en la pantalla de televisor durante el futbol americano conocido como el Super Bowl, All you need is Ecuador.

    El mundo ya conoce Ecuador por el fuerte impacto que tubo este fin de semana, un terremoto de 7.8.  Aun así lo que vemos como testigos es su gente como se ha unido para ayudarse mutuamente y dar apoyo a los que mas necesitan en este momento, mientras que los países extranjeros envían sus profesionales para brindar ayuda a los bomberos, policías, medicos; sus equipos pesados.

    Dentro de todo esto, Ecuador y su gente de Manabi, quienes han recibido el mayor impacto, demuestran su fuerza, coraje y amor. Ellos levantaran el Ecuador mas fuerte que nunca.  Todos podemos dar un poquito de nuestra parte.  Si usted desea ayudar dejando donaciones en cualquier lugar en estas listas.  Puede ayudar en forma financiera para el trabajo que hay que hacer en los meses futuros haciendo deposito en cuenta bancaria de Causes for Change International en Banco Chase.
