The CRECE girls are taking care of business — their ice cream business, that is! 🍨💼

With support from World Vision Ecuador , the girls have created Chiri Chiri, an ice cream made with local Amazonian ingredients grown on their family farms! 🌱

Over the past few months, they’ve been hard at work developing new flavors, perfecting recipes, and building business plans to take Chiri Chiri into the year ahead.

And the reviews are in: our neighbors loved it! 🌟🌟🌟

Keep an eye out for Chiri Chiri ice cream! The girls are just getting started! 🍨💚

We 💙 Senior Group!

Manna is proud to support the Talag GAD’s senior citizens group, a weekly space where local elders can convene with friends and family, receive physical therapy, and participate in dynamic activities together such as crocheting shikras — traditional woven bags. 🧶🧺

We love spending time with our favorite rukumamas and rukuyayas (grandmas and grandpas)! 🧓🏽❤️

We had a blast in July while running Manna Summer Camp! Volunteers kept Shandia’s kids busy and active with fun, educational programming including nature-based arts and crafts, dance, science lessons, and field trips to the river! 🌴

MPI also ran programming in Santa Rosa in collaboration with Sumak Kawsay Wasi and World Vision, delivering professional soccer training sessions to local youth.

It’s been a busy summer for us so far, and we’re glad to be spending it with our favorite kids! ☀️

Los Guardianes del Bosque — AKA Shandia’s Eco Club — had a fun-filled visit to Pimpilala! 🦋🌿

The visit gave students the opportunity to explore the butterfly sanctuary, where resident butterfly expert Euclides taught them about the vital role butterflies and beetles play in pollination. Our guardiancitos even helped Euclides collect deceased butterflies for identification, learned their names, and pinned them to foam boards to continue studying back in Shandia.

The group also hiked the nearby waterfall trail, taking in the beautiful scenery and cooling off in the fresh water with their friends.

We’re so happy to keep Eco Club going throughout the summer break, giving our guardiancitos the chance to stay curious, connect with nature, and keep learning beyond the classroom. Watching their excitement and appreciation for the rainforest grow with every adventure is the best part! 🌱💚

Session 2 intern trip to Baños in the books!

A weekend full of adventure in Cotopaxi! 🏔️🐎

Ella, Pranav, and Eva spent the weekend horseback riding through the páramo, hiking to Cotopaxi’s base camp, spotting llamas, and taking a traditional sheepskin canvas painting class with local artisans. It was the perfect chance to experience Ecuador’s incredible landscapes and learn more about its culture! 🦙☁️🇪🇨

Some highlights from our intern day trip to Misahuallí for an immersive day of learning about Kichwa culture. Joining up with two other volunteers from Beyond Travels, we all started with a lagoon boat ride to observe local wildlife in their natural habitat. Then, from discovering how cacao becomes chocolate and how ceramic dishes are handcrafted to learning how to make string from plant fibers and enjoying a traditional meal, we gained a deeper appreciation for the knowledge, traditions, and way of life that have been passed down through generations.

Thank you to our hosts for sharing your culture and welcoming us so warmly! 🌿🐒🎍
