This was our second trip to the volcano area to take medicine, doctors, and food. In partnership with the Ecuadorian Air Force, the people of Ecuador, Calvary Temple of Concord, CA, and the U.S. Assemblies of God, we were able to bring much needed relief to two communities situated below the volcano. Tomorrow, Deanna, our team, and the Air Force again visit another community.
The volcano began erupting on in 1999 and has continued until today. However, the eruption of August 16th, 2006 was devastating to the surrounding communities. The ash from the volcano travels as far as four or five hours away. Deanna and I were visiting Vinces, which located in the Los Rios Province, known for bananas, rice, and cattle, and is three hours away from the volcano, and the city was covered with about a quarter-inch of ash.
