Description

The voluntary project is located in a day care school where mothers have been working together for their own benefit and for all the mothers who don't have a place where their children can stay while they are working. The age of the children ranges from 8 months to 11 years.

The day care school has been designed for children with lower economic resources. You volunteer work can help resolve some daily necessities, for example to take care of them with your heart and your open arms, helping them with their first steps, teaching English, playing, feeding, watching their social abilities and language advance and helping to do their homework.

You can show your special skills and knowledge in music, dance, painting or any different activities that will help in their stimulation. Also other activities will be required, such as organisation of the classroom or any other special needs. Your work will be much appreciated.

Eco Volunteer UP Foundation's Mission Statement

We are a non-profit organization which is legally recognized by the Ecuadorian Government.

There are volunteer programs located in and around Quito, the capital of Ecuador, as well as programs located in the Cloud Forest and its communities close to Quito, the Ecuadorian Amazon, the Galapagos Islands and other key places around Ecuador. We offer volunteers real immersion in the various Ecuadorian ecosystems, and the unique opportunity for learning and sharing about Ecuadorian cultures, costumes and traditions.
