In the midst of the tense diplomatic situation existing between Ecuador and Colombia, people in the coastal lowlands of Ecuador continues to suffer from the floods caused by the worst winter rains in 20 years. In an effort to assist the affected families, the Tierra Nueva Foundation operating out of Quito, Ecuador sent its Mobil Medical Unit to the Province of Manabi for one week to provide the affected population with medical and dental care, as well as medicine at no cost. Some of the medicine distributed was “left-over” medicine initially collected by the Timmy Foundation (Indianapolis) to be used during its medical brigades in southern Quito. The Mobile Unit spent the first week of March in the coastal province attending an estimated 165 patients per day.
