Description

In Ecuador, passion for English language develops due to the rapidly growing tourism industry, and the country's desire to get access into the global economy. A country blessed with cultural and natural majesty, tourism emerges as an increasingly viable means of generating income. Knowledge of English is undoubtedly helpful to attract more tourists and expand the horizon of tourism business in many English speaking audiences. Many local schools requested English speaking volunteers to help them to achieve their goal of speaking English.

Our English teaching projects in Ecuador are located in the San Jose de Las Tolas village, a village surrounded by picturesque landscapes and beautiful Cloud Forest. Teaching English in the village and staying at Urcu Puyujunda allows volunteers to experience the wonder of this country whilst making positive impacts on the future of the children. Volunteers will have the opportunity to explore villages, local life, culture, and to learn Spanish. Most of the volunteers working in English projects work as teachers in a public school with children and artisans of town. Responsibilities of the volunteers include teaching simple English and practicing conversational English. Additional help with games, health, sanitation, nutrition and extra curricular activities might be requested.
