What does Hogar de Esperanza do with your donations of clothing and household items? First and foremost, we give them away to those who are most in need of them. Great care is taken to make sure that they get exactly what they need. Any extra items are sold in Esperanza Thrift Shop, where all of the proceeds go back into directly supporting the foundation’s work of helping those in need.
Are you moving soon – perhaps across town or maybe even back home – and you have items that you can’t take with you? Do you wish you had someone to come carry away those items remaining after your moving sale, that you don’t know what to do with? Were you just spring-cleaning last week, and came across clothes in your closets that you no longer wanted? If you would like to do some incredible things with those items you no longer need or want, let us turn them into something valuable to help those in need.
We accept anything that you wish to donate, and put it to immediate use. You can come by the thrift shop, which is located at 8-28 Juan Montalvo y Mariscal Sucre, to drop off items Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 5:30 PM. We also do pick-ups of donations, so feel free to contact us to arrange a time. Thank you so much for your support of Hogar de Esperanza – we could not do any of this without you.

If you are filing for a Temporary/Permanent visa, I offer a 100% money back guarantee. That’s right. If I don’t get you your visa, you pay nothing. My name is Isabel Mosquera. I am an Ecuadorian, who studied and lived in Canada for many years. I have been a Visa Facilitator for over 7 years and have assisted more than two hundred and fifty Expats in obtaining their Visas, Temporary and Permanent, Cedulas, Translations, Health Insurance, housing and much more. These services are available as one fee package or individually. I own a car, so transportation is always included at no extra charge. I have always gotten my clients their Visas, even under the most difficult of circumstances, such as unreadable fingerprints for FBI reports. Have you moved to Ecuador without the required documents? Don’t worry, I can help. I offer free consultations, either by telephone, email or in person. I am at the Immigration office on a very regular basis, so I am knowledgeable about all recent changes in the law and am happy to share my knowledge with you. I will be happy to provide you with references.
I look forward to serving you.

Perros de Esperanza Try Outs May 4th!
Cuenca has many amazing dog owners and we may have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you and your pup!
FAAN is thrilled to partner with Social Vision in Perros de Esperanza.
Vetting of Pup candidates and their owners will be on Saturday, May 4th at Parque de la Madre at 10 AM by Social Vision and FAAN.
You and your guy or gal might be perfect candidates for a new initiative to bring Dog Love to hospital patients in Cuenca. Do you have a loving, tranquil dog that is good with kids and adults, and knows basic commands? One of our pet owners had this inquiry “My dog knows no commands but he just loves on anyone he meets.” Our response: “Yes, bring him. We are looking for dogs who will be safe and loving in a hospital environment.”
If you and your pup are approved as candidates, training will be provided on Saturdays, and a testing trial in a local hospital. Volunteer schedules will be flexible.
Meet Teddy, our first Perro de Esperanza who enabled us to get approval for this special project.
This is a great way for you and your best friend to volunteer with FAAN and Social Vision. Please write us and let us know if you can meet us there.

Lymphatic draining is a manual massage technique that stimulates the body’s lymph and interstitial fluid flow.
This method consists of gentle motions made with the fingers and palms of the hands on the whole body. Those motions are made toward the lymphatic flow to create a pumping effect by changing the exerted pressure. This method is often combined with pressotherapy equipment, which allows different pressure points to be exerted simultaneously.
Lymph flows through lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, which filter waste the human body produces. Unlike the blood system, the lymphatic network isn’t activated by the heart, so it must rely on breathing and body movements to eliminate waste and toxins from the body.
The interstitial liquid is the clear liquid that occupies the space between blood cells and capillaries. It provides nutrients to the cells and releases them from their waste.
Benefits
Excess weight and a lack of muscle activity can interfere with lymph flow and weaken the body. Bad lymphatic flow can cause swollen limbs, leg heaviness, cellulite, stretch marks, and other unwanted effects. Lymphatic draining is therefore used to stimulate a deficient lymphatic flow and reduce these unwanted effects.
Lymphatic drainage is a technique that can be performed as part of comprehensive care. The movements are usually slow and soft and vary according to the method used. It is performed on the body with oil, like a massage on a massage table.

If your visa has expired and you are irregular, pay attention to the following recommendation:
DO NOT pay any penalty at Immigration, because if you do, they will give you 30 days to leave the country. Currently, the payment of the penalty does not guarantee that you can apply for a visa, you must leave the country.
If you are irregular but have plans to apply for a visa, wait, there will be a new date for regularization very soon. After the provision for regularization is published, you will be able to pay the penalty.
