We brought Orly a cake for his 17th birthday in BellaVista. But it had to travel 1 hour
on the ranchera into the jungle, then through the river...

....And then up the mountain to the jungle community of BellaVista.

Orly's mom and brother preparing the food (chicken and platano) for the birthday feast.

This was Orly's first birthday party ever and the first time he ever received gifts. Here,
Charles is presenting him with a gift from us. I think Orly felt very proud to be the guest
of honour! It was a privelege for us to share this day with him.

The community of Bella Vista celebrated with Orly. Everyone's ready for cake!

Orly was anxious to get into the cake we brought him!!
