Hi Friends!
This past weekend 9 Rostro volunteers headed north to Quito for the weekend. We are so busy and involved here in Mt Sinai, that at times it is easy to forget that we live in one city of a very diverse country. We stayed at the Working Boys Center in Quito as a few Rostro vols have friends volunteering there. Their hospitality was outstanding as they shared their home, their city, and their reflections on their time working in Quito. It was a unique and wonderful experience to share about our time in Mt Sinai with volunteers serving in different capacities and with different poplulations. While I LOVED my weekend in Quito (especially the beautiful mountains that encapsulate the city!), I left affirmed that I am exactly where I want and need to be here in Mt. Sinai. Below are some pictures to highlight the trip:

Life in Mount Sinai has remained busy and eventful these past few weeks as we approach Christmas. Here are a few pictures that summarize it:
