"It has not been raining"

"It has not been raining much," said Jose Manuel in the Sierra of Ecuador. "We have had very unpredictable weather here. Rain and then no rain," commented Jorge of the Coast of Ecuador. Throughout my travels here, I have been hearing comments about climate change. The crops are not getting the water they need or they are getting too much. The rain is falling at strange times. The weather is not longer predictable. It is happening, and I just want to be a witness to it from south of the Equator. Take notice. Find a way to change things, from the small to the bigger levels.

love,
Ariel
