CEBADAS, Ecuador — On a brilliantly sunlit Andean mountainside in March, God's people remembered Curt Wyse, a hog farmer from Wayland, Iowa.
Dark heads bowed over red ponchos, and paler fists clenched with emotion in jeans pockets as Quichua Christians and North American Mennonites gathered on the freshly poured foundation of the new Ñukanchik Yachay school.
Wyse's life and eath helped the Quichua expand a dream of crating a positive school experience for their children. Part of the money that purchased the land for the school came from Wyse's memorial gifts.
Wyse died of cancer in N9ovember. One of his last wishes was that his wife and children would visit Ecuador, as he had less than a year before his death.
