This is a very special expedition that Eagle Condor takes at least once a year. It is special for many reasons: the projects have maximum impact, the local people are extremely grateful, and the experience is unforgettable. When Eagle Condor plans a trip they first meet with the local leadership to decide what project would have the most impact. This ensures that the project us meaningful and useful to the local population.  For this trip, the local leadership and Eagle Condor decided that an updated septic system is what the village needed the most. The trip into Guayacana is a tale all on its own. Missy and her crew of eager volunteers spared no energy in finishing the project on time and to exact specifications. It really is wonderful to hear about how the volunteers and locals work together to accomplish something that neither could accomplish, alone.  We are so grateful to Missy, and all the other humanitarian organizations that allow us to be a part of the important work that they do.
