Thanks to all our wonderful customers we have been able to send a donation to the child care centre in San Roque that they have used to buy a machine to weigh the children. Apparently it’s a bit more than just a pair of scales. This will help the carers to keep track of the children’s health. They regularly weigh and measure the kids to plot their develoment against the standards for Ecuador. Just like we keep track of our kid’s developent here in Australia. We hope to have photos of the machine in use soon….

The BIG NEWS is that Little Amigos has broken even after a great winter with many supportive customers and retailers. Thank you! We now hope to be able to support the kids in a more sustainable way….. We are awaiting a list of their needs which we will prioritise and hope to be able to tick off as time goes by.

So remember, not only are you buying a fantastic item of clothing, you are also helping those much less fortunate than us. The child care centre really is an oasis for the kids.
