Simón Bolívar Elementary School: August 24, 2012

Submitted on Fri, 08/31/2012 - 3:12pm

(Click on title to read entire post.) The day was breezy and cold as I arrived at Simón Bolívar Elementary school, located in the Los Platanales precinct, about 20 minutes from the district of Puerto Lopez.  It is a small town, but full of friendly and kind people.  In order to get to the town, I took a taxi – it’s a little far and the road is full of mud.  The first things I saw when I arrived at the school were the little boots that the children wear so that they don’t ruin their shoes that their father’s buy with all their hard work an

Rescue of Stranded Baby Humpback Whale

Although all the years we've had animal strandings, this year has been amazing, I have barely rested in August, having to help or to work on animal biopsies.

July Blog Updates "Read entire blog"

Puerto Lopez – July 22, 2012

A sad update.

It was Sunday and it had been a very intense week.  A colleague of mine, Monica Fabara, called me to tell me about a beached whale.  Not a second was wasted, and we left in search of information.

July 18, 2012 Puerto López

Today I returned to the school to teach the excited students about how to take care of these magnificent cetaceans that we have in my country off the Ecuadorian coasts.  Last year there were so many emotions and experiences, not only with the students, but also with the volunteers from Pacific Whale Foundation.  We were coloring, drawing and creating new artists where training and the protection of the animals is a right and obligation for all of us as humans – we go from the smallest to the largest.

How Wonderful!

Again in the world of children, learning from them and teaching what I have learned.

Today is Monday July 16, 2012, and we began the “Environmental Education Program” in the Escuela Particular Sindicato de Choferes, where 6th grade boys and girls learn to take care of and protect different species that they may find in their habitats, be it terrestrial or marine.  

The 37 students quickly ran to the window, and seeing their sweet faces made me so happy to begin once again!
