    International Aid Tents – From Post-Earthquake Tent City to Traveling Circus

    October 16, 2017 /

    “Sometimes by not knowing the truth we make incorrect judgments about situations” — Sunday Adelaja   What happened to tents from Ecuador’s post-earthquake tent cities? After the April 16, 2016 devastating 7.8 Ecuador earthquake, international aid organizations raced to Ecuador, assisting those who lost everything. Aid organizations set up tent camps where families who lost their homes lived, some for a few weeks, some for many months, a few for more than a year.
