Abundant care for abused, neglected and abandoned children in Ecuador.

Skating into Spring!

There are several new little faces at the Foundation! Almost every house now has a baby under 2 years old. These sweet little ones are so loved by their house moms and all of the other kids. They bring so much joy to everyone who meets them and they are such a good reminder that this place will be helping children for many years to come.

"Nature shows the beauty of God"

Spring has sprung here at the foundation! Well actually, with our weather it's basically spring all of the time. Our many and varied flowers are blooming and the colors are only amplified as we are making it out of the rainy season. At the school in the foundation, our children have many projects intended to get them outside and experience God's beautiful creation in nature. One of the projects at school is learning about hydroponics. The students have enjoyed learning the science behind different ways to grow plants.

Another of those projects is our garden. The children love to spend time working in the garden almost every day in their natural science classes. The garden is beautiful as well as functional as it produces many fresh veggies that our kids and house moms can cook and enjoy.

                                        We are starting a charity race team! If you are interested in running or biking to raise money for the Happiness Foundation,  please contact Katelyn at Katelyn@hfecuador.org.

Abundant care for abused, neglected and abandoned children in Ecuador.

Feliz Día de San Valentín! (Happy Valentine's Day)

It's time for a little bit of silliness and fun at the Foundation! Carnival (known as Carnaval in Ecuador) is a holiday celebrated throughout most of Latin America to mark the beginning of the lent fasting period. During this time everyone takes two days off from work or school to celebrate with parades and family parties. In Ecuador specifically, it is very popular to surprise each other with spray foam attacks, so you always have to be on guard! This month, our kids had a lot of fun during Carnaval with some much needed rest and playtime!

We are excited to welcome several new faces to the Happiness Foundation Board. In February we added three members. Clay Cunningham and Lynn and Bill Collins have all been involved in the work at the Foundation for several years.

Clay Cunningham has been taking groups to serve at the Foundation for six years. Even on his first trip, he quickly connected with the people and vision of the Happiness Foundation, and wanted to stay involved because of the wholistic ministry that takes place there. He believes that the book of James makes it clear that it is the role of all believers to take care of orphans and widows and feels blessed to be a part of the work of the Foundation.

Lynn and Bill Collins first visited the Foundation to help Ronnie and Joan Brock with their ministry in 2011. They have traveled every summer since then, and Lynn has been a part of leading a bible study with the teenage girls at the Foundation. Lynn and Bill believe that the work of the Foundation is a great picture of the gospel and how God cares for us and wants us to be a part of His family. They are excited to be more involved, and consider it a privilege to be able to contribute to the safety, joy and peace that the children have at the Foundation.

Katelyn Godfrey will be stepping in to take over stateside operations. She has been traveling to the Happiness Foundation since 2011 and is passionate about advocating for the needs of the children there.

Todd and Jaime Kinzle, as well as Joan and Ronnie Brock continue to be board members. They each provide administrative support and work to raise funds for the monthly operation at the Foundation in Ecuador from their homes in the U.S.

                                        Tax statements for 2017 were sent out at the end of January. If you need an additional copy or need to update your address, please contact Katelyn at Katelyn@hfecuador.org.
