Dear All, we are a group of friends that every year make special programs for kids in need in Molleturo. There are 3 villages where we go; those are Arquillo, Huigra and San Antonio.
We always buy with the funds we collected: toys, candies bags, also if we can we buy bags with groceries. Sometimes we also had been able to give grocery bags for the old people.
We are making a Solidarity Garage Sale. We would like and appreciate your presence and help. We’ll have clothes, shoes, house ornaments, furniture, and more… but if you can also donate anything we can use for the program in the village, we will be very thankful.
Great, easy stocking stuffer.
Present your loved one or friend with a Giftcard from RadiantSkin Spa by Alejandra good for any services starting at just $40.
They will love you for giving them a massage, facial or their other choice of a wide variety of beauty treatments.

Social distancing will be observed and masks are required. Please leave your dogs at home, if you can. We have a new dog here and we’re working on his manners.
Remember, I’m a dog trainer. I’m not in the pet store business. But I do have specialty products that you cannot find elsewhere in Cuenca.

This fully furnished 3-bedroom, 3-bath Cuenca condo has a patio, outdoor kitchen, and a sunroom. It is located in one of Cuenca’s best neighborhoods — a block from the Yanuncay River and its beautiful walking and bike paths and riverside parks.

The large, open-concept living space includes a living and dining room, a kitchen with an eat-in bar and lots of windows, and a comfortable and cozy TV area. A beautiful sunroom/conservatory with red brick tiling on the floors and an open-air covered roof is the perfect place for privacy and relaxation or a nice afternoon cup of tea.
There are 3 bedrooms with tons of built-in closets and storage space, as well as 3 full bathrooms — all with bathtubs and ventilator fans. The master bedroom also has a walk-in closet. There is a spacious office, with terrace views, which could also be used as a 4th bedroom.
Natural gas is central throughout the building. The parking and bodega/storage are underground which is also accessible by electrical doors from the street.

You can buy the suggested items and deliver them to us or send the money for us to buy them. What works better for you? Thank you very much.
Hi all,
This early morning, I was in Azogues, doing a process in the Migration (Human Mobility Office) in Azogues, and I had to show my vaccination card in order to go into the building. All the people who were there, doing different processes, had to show the vaccination card, and the picture attached here says “…have to show the vaccination card, complete”.
Also, some offices in Cuenca are asking for that, and below the link that the office is Guayaquil, are requesting that card.
Remember, the President says “all the public buildings”, so, private buildings are not requesting this, yet… and the President did a kind of “invitation” (exhortó) to request the card
.
And, after I received an email asking me to check if is true that Supermaxi Loja, is requesting the card, I called to Supermaxi, and until today, no. No need to show a vaccine card in order to buy in Supermaxi store.
Will continue informing, if something else comes up.

We have one absolutely adorable, 12-week-old, female golden/brown retriever (mix) puppy that is available for adoption. Mocha has been dewormed and has received her vaccinations.
These pups were rescued recently along with their mother because the owners “didn’t want them anymore” and wanted to “get rid of them”. They were terribly neglected and left to fend for themselves. They are currently being fostered in Paute.
Please contact me if you’re interested in this beautiful baby,

Hello friends, I rescued two female beautiful kittens. They are approximately two months old, very playful and sweet. They use the litter box. I am looking for a loving home for them. They will be vaccinated and dewormed. They must be sterilized when they reach the required age, please.
It would be great if they go together, but if it is not possible, they can go to separate homes. Please share the information.
Thank you very much.

Looking for furnished apartment for rent in Cuenca, $450.
Hello All: I just arrived from the US two days ago. Next week I will begin my earnest search for a rental apartment. Two bedrooms, two baths. I would like basic services and internet to be included. If not, this will be an arguing point on the rental price. I prefer quiet to noise, nature to honking cars in a definitely non-smoking place. Pets: I am an animal lover. I have no pets now, but could possibly seek getting a small pet in the next year. This is for a long-term rental. I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks,

Because many GringoPost readers may not be familiar with Cooperco, I’d like to introduce this exceptional co-operative to you:
Established in Cuenca in 1965, Cooperco has, until now, been focused almost exclusively on servicing the Cuencano community. That exclusive emphasis has begun to shift. In addition to continuing to serve the Cuencano community, Cooperco, in 2020, expanded its capability to now include a strong initiative serving Cuenca’s international community. Starting from a decidedly strong base, Cooperco has only grown stronger. It is the cooperative that offers CDs with not only high rates of return but unparalleled safety and security of principal. That’s a combination that is hard to beat.
