You might be curious what we’re taking to Ecuador…
As a business traveler, I’ve always packed light and made it my goal to travel with only a carry-on. Checking bags can be a headache… bags can get lost, and baggage claim can take forever.
However, this trip is different. In addition to our personal items, we will be carrying a number of things to Ecuador that we will not be bringing home. Our goal is for every passenger to have two checked bags and one carry-on. Each checked bag will be filled to it’s 50-pound weight limit (we even have scales to weigh them before we leave).
What are we taking (and leaving there)?
- Recreational Equipment: baseballs, bats, gloves, basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, air pumps, frisbees, water baloons, crayons
- Eye Glasses: reading glasses, prescription glasses
- Tools: drills, grinders, saws, socket sets, welding helmet
- Clothes: T-shirts, jeans, shoes, work gloves
- Books: children’s books in Spanish
How can you help?
Maybe you have some unused recreational equipment, eye glasses, tools or clothes taking up space in your house or garage. Why not get an early start on your Spring clean up? Bring those items to the church by Wednesday, Jan 30th, and we’ll take them to Ecuador.
