Almost at the last minute we discovered Ecuador has new restrictions with regards to bringing large amounts of clothing into the country. In order for our team to be able to bring all the shoes and socks we had collected, Mike traveled to Needham, Massachusetts to get approval to do so. Mrs. Beatriz G. Almeida Stein, the Consulate General for Ecuador in Boston, was extremely helpful in this process and we are extremely grateful for her assistance.
