FOGG Notes: I was sitting on some steps next to a church, waiting on my girlfriend, when Eduardo came up and started talking Spanish to me.  I was taken off guard for a second and explained I knew only a little Spanish.  He switched to perfect English, saying something about children needing help and would I donate to the cause.  Didn’t know if he was legit at first and was a little hesitant but got to talking with him about America and a few other things.  My girlfriend finally showed back up and he started telling us about the foundation he was working at.  The foundation was set up to help kids who were hooked on drugs, into prostitution and other criminal activities to help get their lives back on track.  The foundation has apx. 250 kids now and he volunteers their when not acting as a tourist guide.
