IMPORTANT!!!

TO ALL TEAM MEMBERS, 

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL, WE HAVE BEEN DIVERTED FROM MACHALA, ECUADOR TO GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR.

WE WILL BE AT A MILITARY HOSPITAL.

ALL OF OUR PATIENTS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED FROM MACHALA TO GUAYAQUIL.  IN ADDITION, OUR HOST “EL CIELO PARA LOS NINOS” HAS STARTED A RADIO AND TELEVISION CAMPAIGN TO ANNOUNCE OUR ARRIVAL AND THE TYPES OF SERVICES THAT WE WILL BE PROVIDING. 

NOTHING HAS CHANGED, WE WILL BE STAYING AT THE ORO VERDE HOTEL ALL WEEK. TAKING THE BUS TO THE MILITARY HOSPITAL AND FOLLOWING THE SAME SCHEDULE AS IF WE WERE IN MACHALA. 

 I WILL NEED ALL OF YOUR COOPERATION WHEN WE ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL SO THAT WE CAN EFFICIENTLY SET UP.  

I HAVE BEEN IN CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH OUR HOST, AND FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT ALTHOUGH OUR DESTINATION HAS CHANGED OUR MISSION HAS REMAINED THE SAME.  

AS WE GET NEAR OUR DEPARTURE DATE, IT IS NORMAL TO BE NERVOUS AND EXCITED ABOUT OUR TRIP. PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS NEWS ADD TO YOUR ANXIETY. OUR MISSION IS INTACT.

PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS,  

YOUR TEAM LEADER

GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR

Your medical supplies must be gathered and carefully documented early in your trip planning process.  There is a lot of paperwork required to take medical supplies into Ecuador.  We must begin this process 5 weeks before your departure.  At that point all Boxes must be packed, numbered, labeled with the contents, and clearly marked as HTCNE Medical Supplies.  There must be a list of all contents corresponding to the box number.  We also need the dimensions and weight of each box or bag.
