Conambo

My most recent jungle trip was to an Ashuar/Quichua community called Conambo.  It was deeper in the jungle than Copataza, almost to the Peruvian border.  During the two-day trip we saw about 60 Compassion International kids and a few other sick folks in this community of approximately 400.  Highlights of the trip included a deep conversation about the Lord with one of the school teachers there, playing Ecua-volley (like volleyball except that carrying is allowed), and eating wild pig stew.

Alas de Socorro (Mission Aviation Fellowship) plane taking off after dropping us off in Conambo.  It's an odd feeling watching the plane leave, knowing that it's your only contact with the outside world.
