Pat Hess, a friend from San Francisco, and I spent two weeks in New Zealand in February. We flew from Los Angeles to Auckland which took a little over 12 hours. We toured both the north and the south islands. In Auckland, we visited a marvelous museum with many Maori artifacts.
I participated with eight other women from various parts of the U.S. as a Global Volunteer in Calderon, Ecuador. We were the 136th group of Global Volunteers to Ecuador. We worked in two child care centers that were founded by a group of women from Calderon to provide assistance to single and low-income mothers. Global Volunteers assisted in building the centers.
