Extreme Response: The Zámbiza Dump

Here's the video from last year - I'm at the very end doing the Frisbee toss!

Every year Extreme Response, another ministry in Quito, hosts Christmas parties around the city for the different organizations that they partner with. One of these organizations is the local dump. Check out the video above to learn more about Extreme Response. I also work alongside one of the leaders of Extreme Response when they host a team of people at For His Children. They are a great organization and have been able to help a lot of people in and around Quito.

This year, my friend Amy and I, were in charge of a bean bag toss. The people had to throw the bags through the holes in a board covered with parrots in order to win a piece of candy. People were lined up all along a fence near the entrance; thousands of people waiting. When they opened the fence, people could go to a crafts table, get a picture with Santa, play any one of the Carnival games, or listen to live music. It is wonderful watching as people ranging from age 1-90 joined in on the fun!

It was great to be part of this for another year!
