The Second crew flew into Quito the night of Nov. 23rd and flew out to Santa Cruz Island the very early morning of the 24th. This dynamic group consisted of the Dental Club ( Assistant Director Janette Stevens, Dr. Steven Whitney, Blake and Addi Robison , Head man Pedro Peter Elton (whom we still owe a Granadilla), Ashley Gillette, Kelli Jones, Michael Thomas, Andy English, Jacob Kelly, Lance Gledhill, Andy Shirley, Tod Wever, Daniel Whitney,Tyler Hart, Ben Karren, Todd Thomason, Brennan Michael Peterson, Dr. Gary Robinson, and John and Misha Young.) We had the way fun and crazy DC gals, Rachel Hardy, Amy Lynn O´Kelly, and Janine Sides. And also the great asset Chris Howell, and the lifesaver of our sanity and public relations man Jeff Montague (who flew in a day early and helped get things set and ready.)
Both Groups had long first nights in, because of weight limit restrictions and variations on the flight to the Galapagos. We spent the night going through the main details of the expedition, answering questions, having a small snack, and then getting right to work unpacking and repacking donations of all kinds into suitcases of all sizes. Thanks so much to everyone for thier hard work and patience and especially to Fern Hill and her incredible gift of packing!!! (for the great DI packing bags too!!)
Places: We spent our time on two different Islands, San Cristobal and Santa Cruz. On San Cristobal the wonderful organization Cultura Por La Paz took great care of us as well as taking care of the organization for the project service. On Santa Cruz we kept in tight contact with the Red Cross as well as some governmental officials and the Branch President of the LDS church. Because this island had never been visited previously things were a little hazy sometimes, but with everyone´s patience and help all worked out well and we were able to serve incredibly effectively. On both islands, the communities rallied around us with support giving us help with logding, transportation, food, fun, dances, presentations, as well as numerous other details.
People: Working with the people in this expedition was truly the most rewarding part. We not only helped over 1500 people with medical and dental services (not to mention contruction, oral hygiene talks, ect), the greatest help and impact we had was one of hope, service, and love. Teeth and doctors come and go, but love has a way of changing things forever. The impact this expedition had on the volunteers is one that has forever changed our hearts and lives. The impact this expedition left on the people of the Galapagos has indeed done likewise. We have recieved already numerous letters of love, appreciation, and gratitude. Thank you all for your willingness to serve, love, and share part of yourself and your talents with others. It was so neat to watch kindred friendships form, respect and love grow, laughs and jokes shared, clothing swapped off backs, dancing like crazy, and so much fun, love, and service abound.
Projects: On San Cristobal medical and dental crews were set up origionally at the hospital (where some great bonding happened with the local doctor and a move was made...) and then later in the local high school (Casa del Pueblo). Our volunteers worked hand in hand with the local Galapagos volunteers and miracles really happened. Over 800 people were seen on this island alone. The construction crew worked like crazy building an art room for the local youth to spend thier time (an alternative to the escalating drug problem) as well as painting and repairing a small school in the hills.
On Santa Cruz, the medical and dental teams were set up in the local high school as well. As always it was a bit of an adventure working out all of the kinks, dividing the large number of volunteers, utilizing everyone effectively, and finding all the necessary equipment parts. (mainly a compressor because ours broke down the first day of service.) However, things got running and we were able to serve and help so many people. Our construction crews worked their hearts and hands out on a variety of projects, mainly a hospital, a drug rehab center (wow aggressive!! Clearing bushes and ferns in the jungle with machete´s, and also moving huge sacks of cement all over the place. Go construction crew!!!) We also had Dr. Anderson, and his interpreter Jaime Guerra giving lectures as well as meeting with individual patients for Psychology. Jeff Montague was also a vital assett and gave numerous lectures in the local schools. The missionary couples from the LDS church were also a huge benefit helping us with organization, personal hygiene, nutrition lectures, as well as numerous other things. The dentists and doctors were all wonderful special thanks to them in their efforts to provide opportunities of learning for our volunteers as well as working long hard hours and giving incredible service.
All in all, everyone was a wonderful part of this expedition. Thank you so much for your versatility and willingness to serve where you were needed. You made an incredible difference!
Results: Over 1500 people were seen by the medical doctors and dentists, as well as recieving an oral hygiene talk. Our construction crew made great headway in the hospital, drug rehab center, small school, ect., and all the volunteers made a great and lasting impression of hope, love, and service upon the people of the Galapagos Islands. We were also able to gather some incredibly useful information for future expeditions to the Galapagos. Everyone is already starting to count down the months for the next trip.
We were able to give out hundreds of donations (medicines, toothbrushes, paste, listerine, and other medical and dental supplies).
Exciting Highlights: Wow!! So many!!!
for sure on the top was swimming with the sea lions (getting kissed, or bit or nudged by them), seeing the manta rays, the sharks, the turtles, the incredible fish ect... as we snorkeled.
the run to Turtuga Bay on Santa Cruz and playing like crazy on the beach. (having a little yoga session as well...thanks Jeff.)
The culture exchanges and dance parties!! (great rendition of You´ve lost that Lovin´Feeling, La Bamba, ect (great last minute band by the volunteers. Go Janine on the guitar, Peter and Tyler on the Drums, and everyone else really rockin´out!!) as well as an incredible performance on the Charango by the ´Animal´ Washington!
The Thanksgiving ice cream buffet (15 different flavors wow!) as well as the song exchanging (Gordon´s Sunday School Song being the favorite)

The amazing animals (turtles, sea lions, sharks, manta rays, octopuses, blue footed boobies, iguanas, ect, ect, ect,!!)
The incredible (is that the right word??) experience of taking the five hour fishing boat from San Cristobal to Santa Cruz and viceversa! (watching the shades of green was really entertaining as well as trying to use the bathroom....great bathroom experience...wow!)
The Bus taking the second group to the airport that broke down and the mechanics who were blowing gas into the air filter to fix it!! (and the miracle of our plane being late and us making the flight home.)
Losing Passports in the Hotels and the race to get them in time.
Taking incredible walks on the beach and watching the sunset.
THE CULTURE OF THE PEACE!!
Staying with the Mediavilla´s
The mad dash in Quito to find Souveniers
Cutting in line because we were official Galapagonians
Riding in the back of the pickups in the rain in the jungle to the construction site.(and picking fresh oranges off of the trees.)
Breaking compressors, finding compressors, fixing compressors, and finally using compressors.
Watching the smiles of little children who had newly whitened or fixed teeth. (not to mention the mother´s faces as well.)
Watching friendships build and strengthen through service (Robbie and Jorge working like crazy!)
Seeing everyones great sunburns and farmers tans!
Learning how to cope with a difference of cultures and communication.
Our Thanksgiving meeting
The first sight of the Galapagos islands.
How our hearts felt at the end of the expedition!
Learning to truly Love and Serve like Crazy!!
AND SOOO MANY MORE!!
Special Thanks: So much time, effort, money and sacrifice went into this project! Special thanks to Fern Hill and the rest of the Hill Family. Your sacrifices truly made this expedition a success! We are so grateful to you! Incredible thanks to the Zambrano Family (Washinton, Maria, Juan, Anita, Josue, and Mattius) and Ana Miriam Guzman for the open arms of love, their time, effort, expense, patience, and incredible examples. Also great gratitude to Gordon Carter the Director of Charity Anywhere and his sweet family, who´s dreams and desire to serve gave all of us this incredible opportunity. Thank you!
Also thanks to Juliana Hill and Janette Stevens and Washington Zambrano (the Quito Crew) for their efforts, time, patience, and love in behalf of this project and mostly for getting three million copies of your pictures. (and of course to all of you for sending three million copies of your pictures.)
Thanks to the numerous contributors of medical and dental supplies, as well as financial support and volunteer recruitment (Brooke Hart, we missed you and you´re awesome).
You all truly helped a miracle! Thank you so much for all you have done. There is no way to express the gratitude we have to you, and no way to truly thank you for your love, service, and sacrifice. You have indeed helped touch and change thousands of lives for good. You are all truly Heroes!

SIDE NOTES- important details you´ll want to know!
As far as touring is concerned. We will have a few different touring options each night. Choices including, the beach (with sea lions), The Galapagos Interpretation Center, snorkeling in Isla Lobos (Tijeretas), hiking El Junco Crater and viewing the lake there, visiting turtles in the Galapagera, seeing the lizards, other cool wildlife,ect and of course a boat tour or two. The group will hit one of these or something just as cool every night.
As far as snorkeling is concerned bring your own mask and gear, or you can purchase it on the island but it´s outrageously expensive.
As far as scuba diving, there is the possibility you may get to go, but you will need to make your own arrangements and it may not fit in with our service schedule. Do what you would like, but snorkeling may be almost as cool without the huge hassle and cost. We definitely recommend going with the snorkeling.
Every morning (or most every morning) we will be having a small group go jogging and maybe to the beach afterwards. This is for those willing to sacrifice some sleep, but it will be tons of fun and everyone is welcome to come. Just bring your jogging shoes.
As far as temperature is concerned, the island is very hot and humid. Bring shorts and flip flops, but a good pair of shoes for construction, hiking, ect... also, bring a light jacket or sweater for our touring and the few cool nights we may have. (it may rain also, so a poncho may be a good idea.)
Sunglasses and sunscreen are great!!!!!!! (don´t forget we are on the equator...)
Bugs were not a big problem, repellent is a good idea, but no major worries or problems as far as diseases or anything.
You will be sleeping on the floor so bring a small sleeping bag. (a pillow and pad are up to you, but good luck finding space in your baggage. We recommend just using your jacket as a pillow : ) )
Food will be fixed for us every day and it will be delicious!! Mmm mmm good!
The island is beautiful and the people wonderful you will love it! There is so much good we can do!
PLEASE DON´T FORGET!!!! We need a detailed inventory list of the donations you are bringing. (what the name is of the medicine or supplies ect, as well as how many of each you are bringing.) For example. 100 toothbrushes, 180 boxes of toothpaste, 200 capsules of amalgam, ect.., ect... ect... we need this by November 10th!! This is Vital because we need to know what we need to buy and have time to buy and ship it. Please bring one suitcase full of supplies or if you have none please contact Gordon Carter to help transport the materials he has already. (please pack your donations and supplies in suitcases not boxes!)
Construction crew, we have tools there that we can use and also people to help us. If you can bring some of the smaller tools such as tape measure, triangles ect... that would be great!
If you are flying in before November 19 (first team) or Nov. 23 (second team) or departing after Dec. 1, please contact us so we can make the necessary arrangements.
Please don´t forget to give us your detailed flight info. So we can pick you up at the airport.
We need a personal profile from everyone, giving us a description of your skills experience ect. We know some of your skills already, but we will be doing some rotations as well, and we need to know where the best places to put people are. Please try to be objective (for example if you are a dental assistant (or want to be a dental assistant), but have also worked a little in a hospital, or have helped build a house, treehouse, worked on plumbing, ect. Please tell us. ) any information that will help us place you in the most effective group possible. Please try to be specific. Some of you are very specialized, and others have varying degrees of experience, please tell us the skills you may have or may be inclined to catch on quickly to, and where you would like most to work. We will try to utilize everyone where they wish to be, but our main goal is service and we will rotate people accordingly. (no worries, you´ll love wherever you´re at, and all should get a chance to serve where they wish.) Please inform us if you speak spanish as well!
* This is a service expedition, however, we do realice going to the galapagos is a once in a lifetime opportunity with incredible things to see. Each evening we will have a sightseeing option as well as tours available on our free days. It will be Awesome!!

ECUADOR, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
Dear Charity Anywhere
We would like to say we are incredibly happy you are
all on board with us working to make the upcoming
Galapagos Islands project a reality. Thank you for
your support, time and interest in this worthy cause.
It is on the horizon and coming quickly and we are so
excited for the much good that will be done! Every day
brings new exciting information as new volunteers hop
on board and new developments take place. We realice
the time is quicly approaching and we want you to know
that we are working very hard to get everything
organized and ready. Here is the latest update of what
we know so far and what you need to be doing to
prepare.
It´s taken us longer than we origionally thought to
set the exact dates for this trip because we were
working very closely with numerous airlines and
through the government to provide transportation for
all the volunteers and supplies from Quito to the
Galapagos. We have great news!! We spoke with the vice
president of an airline called Tame who has agreed to
help us get there and back for an incredible price!
This is truly a miracle because normal airline costs
(especially for foreigners) is incredibly expensive
which would normally make travel impossible. With
their help this is now a definite reality! The reason
the dates are still tentative is because we are
waiting for a concrete flight schedule (the planes are
always very busy and because of our rates we need to
work around their schedule.) We are hoping for a
direct reply today. We´ll keep you posted!
This is what we know about the needs in the galapagos.
We are working on two different islands San Cristobal
and Isabella. On this expedition, is we provide much
needed dental and medical care for people who would
not be able to afford it in any other way. that may
sound like a small thing, but in reality it is a huge
thing for these people. we see everything from rotted
out teeth so that they can´t eat, to little kids with
huge protruding teeth that need to be pulled for pain
and eating purposes. as far as medicine, this is
sometimes the first time they´ve ever seen a doctor or
received any medical attention at all. there are
currently 800 children in the galapagos island waiting
for us! we will also be giving hygein lectures to the
kids and parents as well as passing out toothbrushes
and paste to many who will receive them for the first
time in their lives. as far as contruction, we will be
working on a roof for a school and if possible,
building a drug rehab center. we are also working on
other medical areas as well as instilling hope and
love for the people there. We will be working with
around 800 children and other adults. We will be
having a medical team, dental team, a construction
crew, and volunteers to give hygiene lectures and
distribute donations to the people. Washington,
Juliana, and Janette (the directors of this project)
will be traveling to the island later this month (Oct
15th) to make sure all necessary arrangements are made.
This is a SERVICE expedition however, we will have a
chance to attend church there as well as see some of
the island.
As far as what you need to be doing....
1. We are sending you an attached poster please take it,
print, distribute it, kiss it, hug it, and give
EVERYONE YOU KNOW ONE!! J Institute buildings,
schools, billboards, wards, work, your car, your
shirt, and your backpack, (and don´t forget your house
and your dog´s sweater) are great places, but by far
the best are personal contacts. Please feel free at
any time to contact us here in Quito through e-mail
about any questions or concerns or Gordon Carter the
Director of Charity Anywhere who lives in Twin
Falls.(He´s GREAT! And his contact information is on
our website www.charityanywhere.org which should be
updated ASAP.)
2. You can start getting donations. we need supplies! we
need the dental supplies to give all this service. we
have some supplies presently, but we have 3
expeditions here in Quito set for an orphanage named
Raymar, a little village town called Olta Valo, and
one for the ward members here. with these three
projects, we will use up almost all of the supplies
before we even head out for the Galapagos. here is a
list of the supplies we need. we suggest typing a
letter or visiting yourselves to as many dentist as
you know! please be aware of the expiration dates on
all materials. here we go... we need- light cure
composite, needles (small and large) amalgam capsules,
anesthesia, brushes and paste, masks, and a lamp cure,
and any orthodontic supplies available as well. We
have an orthodontists coming with us as well. We need
as much as you can get. we need people to come to
bring it all, but don´t worry about that, if you get
them, we´ll find a way to get them here. (eagle
projects are awesome!) ( there is a navy port who we
have connections with in San Fransisco, so we can send
them there.. know anyone traveling that way perhaps?)
3. We need to raise money ! specifically to buy a new
portable dental chair. the cost is around $900 to buy
a chair and we will be going to Columbia to purchase
it. other money raised or any donations at all will
all be gratefully accepted and used to ship supplies
here, pay taxes, buy construction material, and any
other expenses needed. i promise! it will go to use
very quickly and to the best possible cause. (Many
people and companies are willing to donate. If you
have any donations or questions how to go about this,
please contact Gordon Carter.)
4. we will be posting a packing list and personal
information on the website soon. So far it should
include a PASSPORT!!, and a visit to your local doctor
for immunizations. Those of you working in the
medical-dental portion of this expedition start your
hepatitis A and B series. We also recommend an updated
tetanus as well. You will also need a sleeping bag
(one that you can pack on the plane, or you can buy
them here.) We know for sure the nights that you will
stay in Quito we will be staying in a school and once
in the Galapagos we will be needing our sleeping bags
as well.
5. Please e-mail us if you are planning or are interested
in coming so we can make the necessary arrangements
for you and also so we can keep you updated.
Great to be working with you! This will be an amazing
experience!
Much love and hope,
The Quito Crew! (Washington Zambrano, Juliana Hill and
Janette Stevens)
