Jubal reporting from the front lines of the War on Poverty in Quito, Ecuador

We need your help. Helena Najas de Coronel needs to be nomnated as Hero of the Year with CNNs Anderson Cooper. Helena heads Fundacion Aldec, which is her labor of love of over 15 years. Her program feeds over 200 children in the colonial district of Quito, Ecuador and provides an after school tutoring and education program for the children. For many of these children the hot meal they are provided is the only one they will have all day. Besides serving lunch, she also serves breakfast to over 60 children who start the school day later. All the children receive something hot to drink and a fortified bread roll to eat before going home. The children pay for lunch, to help offse the costs of running the foundation, as much as $0.75, IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT. But the average child contributes around $0.10. This is done to help the children learn about the importance of being part of the solution and not just being there to get a free meal and goof around. All the children receive help with their homework and tutoring in their more difficult subjects. There are severl volunteer teachers who have been with the foundation for a long time and i will be posting another report ver soon wih interviews with the children.

Hello, Jon Jaramillo reporting from Quito, Ecuador where Fundacion Aldec is about to break ground on their new facility in more secure location where the children will not be exposed to the terrible conditions in the downtown colonial district of Quito where there are prostitutes on the street and alcoholics and thieves. The children need to be in this new location so they arent at risk of being lured into street gangs or exploitation by organized crime elements on the streets.

The director Helena Najas de Coronel and her long time supporters from the organization EVA Ecuadorian Volunteer Association in Chicago, Illinois Mr. Ivan and Mrs.Mariana Barriga who are the directors of this organization that helps over a dozen charity foundations in Ecuador. Other supporters present in the video are Mr. Matthias Tapernoux and his wife Lupita Tapernoux, who believe very strongly that Anderson Cooper should select Helena Najas de Coronel as Hero of the Year for her labor of love of the past 15 years. Mr. and Mrs. Tapernoux and their family are also long time financial supporters of the foundation. Also present was the architect Eduardo Andrade who explains some of the issues with the site where construction is going to occur. Finally, Helenas husband Ramiro Coronel who supports his wifes charity work 100%. And a special thanks goes out to the driver Roberto Morocho who transports the directors of the foundation safely every day, and who transported us safely to tour the location.We need your help.
