Introduction

Welcome!

For His Children (FHC) is a Christian ministry to children in Ecuador. Founded in 1990 by Clark and Melinda Vaughn and their children, Phillip and Lesley when they followed God's call to move from California to "love His children".

FHC aims to do exactly that - providing a home for these abandoned children where they can experience God's love and care, until they can be reunited with their birth family, or placed with an adoptive family.

I visited and volunteered at FHC during the summer of 2008-09 and have returned in obedience to this calling God has placed in my heart.

Thank you for visiting my blogpage.

Latacunga Hospital

Tuesday morning. We (tia Patti, tia Moni, and myself) head to the hospital in town with Angel, Josue and Alejandra. We wait for a long time before we can see the doctor/s...I guess this is the same any country you go to. There are always more sick people that need attending to than there are doctors.

After a few tests, it is discovered that Alejandra is walking properly (even though her right foot points outward – but this is due to her hip rather than her leg). Josue's groin is not inhibited in movement, and Angel gets checked out too (for what I'm not quite sure).

I was responsible for Josue at the hospital. He is one of the most difficult kids to mind. So fidgety.
He will climb on things he is not supposed to climb, sit on things he is not supposed to sit on, pull plugs out, and touch things he is not supposed to touch. Even going to the toilet had to be an adventure...

After going pee pee and flushing the toilet, we found a plastic cup stuck in there. Josue of course had to play with the cup, and all the water in there. After what seemed like an eternity, I had to get him to take the cup out, by pulling it out myself. Man, I stuck my hand in a toilet bowl for that kid...it just isn't funny!!!
