See book reviews for a review on the book we used for this unit study and a review of this documentary.

Helpful sites we used for this study:

http://www.hcjb.org/    - Radio Broadcast that you can actually listen to. This also has a the memorial service for the five missionaries and also a 50th anniversary memorial where some of the tribal people are getting baptized.

http://www.globalvolunteers.org/1main/ecuador/ecuadorgeography.htm -A geography site that was helpful. The lady has one of her feet in the northern hemisphere and the other in the southern hemisphere.

http://www.gagme.com/greg/vacation/2004/galapagos/equator.php - Another geography site. A poster shows you how to shrink a head.

http://www.goecuador.com/magazine/mp3-folk.html   - Music of Ecuador, very different but very neat. Academic music will take you to a gospel chior, that was nice singing.

http://www.hcjb.org/docs/saint/index.htm - Nate Saint Memorial School

http://www.junglepilot.org/ - The work goes on.

http://www.ecuador365.com/quito1.html - I used this site for pictures.

I really, really enjoyed this unit study, probably more than my boys did.
