An extraordinary opportunity.!
October 08, 2024by: Régis Villemin - SwitzerlandProgram: Sustainable Development Internships in EcuadorThe kind of opportunity your are infinitely grateful for ! I loved everything about my fantastic journey in the Andes, discovering ancient vernacular building techniques and learning from local professionals. The touching contact with local population has been a great opportunity to practice my Spanish and get to know their incredible culture. Absolutely grateful to Joshua for his support and dedication in the project and for making my internship such a wonderful time.
