December 2009 - Time of Promises and Hope 

Christian world and Ecuador in particular, we rejoice in this Christmas season recalling the birth of Jesus, our savior and redeemer. It is a time of joy and happiness! But not much joy for many Ecuadorians. Studies show that poverty in rural areas, where FEDICE works, by the year 2006,, said that the rural poor were 82%, it means 8 outof 10 are poor. For that same year, the poor had $1.06 per day, $31.92 per month for consumption. Think seriously and act responsibly, following the footsteps of Jesus, who said: "I have come that they may have life andhave it abundantly." (John 10:10)

Caluquí Child Development Center is a community center in the parish district of González Suárez in Imbabura province, Ecuador. In June 2006, community leaders requested the completion of this project because children’s living conditions were inadequate. The building of the center was supported by various organizations, such as the local government of Imbabura, the parochial council of González Suárez, and the support of constituents of Global Ministries with a special connection with FEDICE and the decades of ministry of Violet Vaca.
