During my three months living in Ecuador’s
capital city, Quito, my roommate Garigarra and I were working in a small childcare
centre on the outskirts of the city. The experience as a whole was an eye
opening one, having never spent so much time in a developing country, not to
mention with underprivileged children. We worked with a group of babies from five to
twenty-four months old, which meant a lot of crying, feeding and the dreaded
nappy changes, though looking back I wouldn’t change it for the world. These
kids, despite their less fortunate upbringings, were just like any other children their age. These are the faces that got me through all the early
mornings and near vomit inducing cleanups, and I’ll never forget all of their
happy faces!
