In a city like Cuenca—where compassion runs deep and community matters—we are constantly reminded that real change doesn’t always begin with large organizations. Sometimes, it begins with one person… and one dog.
At Fundación Familia Amor Animal (FAAN), we work every day to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals facing the most difficult circumstances. But the truth is, we cannot do it alone, and often, the first and most powerful response happens right on your street.
This is the story of Ollie.
A friend of FAAN noticed a homeless dog wandering her neighborhood. Like many of us, she may not have been in a position to adopt—but she did something simple and profound: she started feeding him. She gave him a name, “Ollie” and with that, she gave him dignity.
Something remarkable happened next.
Neighbors began to notice.
Then they began to care.
And before long, a community brigade was born.
Today, Ollie is no longer alone. He is surrounded by a network of compassionate neighbors who:
Share responsibility for feeding him
Keep a watchful eye on his safety
Contribute to his veterinary care
Even treat him to a fresh, handsome look at the groomer
There’s even a WhatsApp group dedicated to Ollie—updates, check-ins, and coordination, all fueled by kindness.
This is the power of community.
The reality is that not everyone can adopt a dog on their own. But together? Together, neighbors can become the safety net. Many brigades form organically. FAAN is also here to help guide and support anyone who wants to take that first step. From education to practical tools, we can help you establish a structured, sustainable approach to caring for community dogs and cats in your neighborhood.

There are lots of good reasons not to go to church like growing Christian Nationalism, coercive indoctrination, churches being more focused on their own needs than those of the community, the sordid history of abuse long associated with the Christian church, people’s tendency to be unwelcoming or un-inclusive or hyper-judgmental at church.
That said, if you think participating in a church is something you’d like, if only you could find a local church that meets your needs, let me offer the following strengths of St Timothy Episcopal Mission (STEM) here in Cuenca:

In Ecuador, a medical emergency doesn’t just threaten your health — it can destroy your savings, your assets, and your peace of mind. A single event — surgery, hospitalization, or unexpected treatment — can cost thousands of dollars in just days.
This is where health insurance stops being optional and becomes a strategic decision.
The reality is simple: uninsured individuals end up paying out of pocket, selling assets, or going into debt. Those who act in advance protect their capital and gain access to quality healthcare without compromising their financial stability.

This stunning modern, sustainable, smart eco-home in the secluded mountains near El Cajas National Park is a slice of heaven and a private sanctuary that is safe and secure. This unusual, contemporary home is divided into a two-bedroom fully-furnished 1,830 sq, ft. main house and a two-bedroom secure, reinforced, underground suite that is 818 sq. ft, with a living, dining, kitchen area, plus a dedicated laundry room. Downstairs there is also a huge pantry, perfect for preppers or chefs, who want to ensure that an unlimited food supply is readily available. A second large storage room is also located in the downstairs area, which is secured by a heavy steel door. The property sits on nearly 4 acres of pristine land and views that will take your breath away.
The main home (170 sq. meters) has every bell and whistle and imported upgrades and features from Spain, Italy, Germany, and Chile. Built to North American standards, in 2012, by a well-known Ecuadorian architect and the home’s current owner, the open-concept living space is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, letting the light and the magical views shine through at every turn. The living areas have sweeping vaulted wood ceilings. German floating floors bring warmth and ambience to the home. Partial zones including in the master bedroom and in the offices have heated flooring. The PVC double-glazed windows keep the home perfectly insulated, and the imported pot-belly wood stove in the living room provides a cozy feel on those chilly mountain evenings. All window coverings are from Hunter Douglas. The home is built out of high-strength metal and has antiseismic construction ensuring a solid foundation.
The 15,500 sq. meter lot is breathtaking, with an unspoiled and serene valley, mountain, and pasture land views. A lovely wrap-around terrace lets the outdoors in and is perfect for watching the amazing sunsets or for an early morning view of the fog lifting over the mountains.

The two bedrooms — one en suite — both have gorgeous windows looking out into nature and plenty of closet space. The primary bedroom also has a walk-in closet. The 2nd bathroom is shared by the guest room and the social area.
