Ambassador Heather Hodges visited three projects sponsored by the United States Government through its Agency for International Development (USAID) in the provinces of Sucumbios and Orellana. The Ambassador inaugurated a potable water system in the town of “Las Palmeras” in Orellana province. The system is designed to satisfy the town’s present and future water demand. She also inaugurated a newly built bridge over the Takura River. Over 1,500 inhabitants from 10 surrounding communities will directly benefit from the bridge. She also visited the cocoa processing company “Aroma Amazónico” which received $150,000 in support from USAID to expand its activities and create 1,900 full-time jobs. (
