This week, Menchie was privileged to be included on a trip to the Ecuadorian jungle along with the VAC team (below), who showed him a good time. Here they are pictured in Puyo, capital of the Pastaza province. VAC, the Volunteer Advisory Committee, meets periodically throughout the year. They act as volunteer representatives to the Peace Corps Ecuador administrative staff in Quito.
The picture of Menchie with the three little girls is in a village an hour outside of Puyo. The girls are sisters and a cousin, all members of an Oriente (jungle) Quechua (indigenous) community called Chaguamango.
