Estero de Platano

Tonight I´m getting on a bus for Estero de Platano, a small town on the coast of Ecuador (and hour south of Atacames which is an hour south of Esmeraldas if you want to find in on a map). I will be volunteering for the next three months in this community of about 600 people. One of my tasks is an economic assessment of the community for future sustainable development projects by the foundation I´m working with but additionally (and what I´m most excited about) I¨ll be working with a group of local artisans, helping them organize as a business to sell their goods in local markets. Unfortunately the closest internet connection will be about an hour bus ride north so my already slacker blog postings are unfortunately going to get worse... but we are going for quality here right? :)
My love to all, Dayna
