Come visit us as we celebrate the mission of feeding others. From our efforts to help provide over 5000 sandwiches a month to the poor in Parque Calderon to our efforts to provide a spiritual feeding to all who hunger for it every Sunday, ICC is
dedicated to focusing on others rather than own ourselves. Come be inspired by the hymns, scripture readings and message that encourage us to “Feed the Sheep of Christ” rather than our own egos and desires.
See you at 11:00 this Sunday!

The volunteers of FAAN are thrilled to share with Cuenca High Life Readers, the latest edition of FAAN Magazine.
Get ready to dig into this special issue with tips for pet owners, information on upcoming events, a spotlight on volunteering with FAAN, and an update on the building of the first, modern animal shelter in Ecuador and South America.
If you’re disturbed and saddened by Cuenca’s homeless dog problem in our beautiful World Heritage City and want to be part of the solution, we invite you to join us on a transformational and yet inspiring journey. We won’t kid you! It’s not a sprint but a marathon as we focus on long-term, evidence-based strategies including shelter, prevention, education, and adoption.
And while there are days when we find ourselves still in horrible rescue situations, we are seeing this transformation take hold, and know together, we are making Cuenca known as “The City that Cares About Animal Welfare.”
We hope you enjoy this issue and would love to hear from you.
As a note through the end of May, all donations to FAAN are doubled by a generous animal lover! This matching grant doubles your impact on animal welfare!
With appreciation and love from
The FAAN-ATIC Team of Volunteers and the FAAN Pups in our Care

In the vibrant city of Cuenca, “Bill”, a new client and expatriate, embarked on his journey with enthusiasm, recognizing the necessity of securing health insurance. After encountering difficulties in finding suitable coverage, he discovered our services and promptly obtained a Major Medical Expenses insurance plan with a $5,000 deductible.
Merely two weeks into his insurance coverage, Bill faced a grave health crisis—a severe infection in his knee prosthesis, classified as a pre-existing condition, but excluded because it was an infection. This unforeseen turn of events subjected him to excruciating pain but also posed a significant risk of sepsis. Bill underwent urgent surgery at Monte Sinai Hospital, performed by a leading orthopedic surgeon. Although the operation was successful, the ensuing expenses surpassed the coverage limit, compounded by the need for a costly antibiotic priced at $2,500 USD.
Post-surgery, the process of reimbursement commenced. Despite the initial apprehension regarding coverage limitations, Bill’s claims were efficiently processed without impediments, alleviating financial burdens associated with his medical ordeal.
The culmination of Bill’s health journey did not conclude with the successful surgery. A subsequent post-surgical complication resulted in another medical intervention, amplifying medical expenses. However, armed with comprehensive insurance coverage and personalized support, Bill confronted these challenges with resilience, ensuring that his health remained the top priority.
Bill’s journey epitomizes the critical role of robust health insurance coverage and attentive service in navigating unforeseen health adversities. Despite encountering daunting challenges, Bill’s proactive approach to securing adequate insurance coverage enabled him to confront his health crises with resilience and financial stability. His story serves as a testament to the invaluable peace of mind afforded by comprehensive health insurance in safeguarding individual well-being, regardless of the adversities encountered along life’s journey.

Selenium is a mineral and naturally occurring trace element in the soil, water, and some foods. It is also an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.
Selenium is critical for many essential bodily functions, including metabolism and the immune system. Since the body can’t synthesize selenium, you must get adequate amounts from your diet and supplements.
IV infusion is ideal for getting selenium and other nutrients because it skips the digestive tract and is directly absorbed into the bloodstream.
The intravenous administration of this mineral via Selenium IV is highly recommended for several reasons. Selenium regulates critical metabolic functions and can fight oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It can lower individual susceptibility to illness and is also indicated to support vital bodily functions.
Symptoms of selenium deficiency include:
Hair loss
Fatigue
Mental fog
Weakened immunity
Fertility issues
Weight gain
BENEFITS
Slows the progression of age-related skin and body concerns
Boosts immunity
Minimizes oxidative damage
Schedule your in-home IV on the day and time that suits you best.
Cost of IV $60 + $5.00 transportation fee
