Volunteer in Environmental Projects with Fundación VASE

When you want to volunteer and you are looking for an organization VASE is a great choice. During my voluntary service with VASE I felt supported and safe every time.
The experience in my project was overall very good. I really enjoyed working outside and taking care of the plants from the seed to the tree. My tasks changed from day to day, but mainly I worked in the maintenance of them park, help in the reforestation, give tours in the park and do administrative work in the seed bank.
The only thing that bothers me about my project is, that the volunteers were expacted to work overtime and my bosses were very picky about breaks during the day.

Personally I can recommend the organization VASE. For all people that search for support during their stay in Ecuador, it’s a good choice. I’m happy with the work they are doing. I felt very safe and got good advice. Also the seminars were good, just sometimes not perfectly organized. But the preparation and the topic we talked about were really good for getting into a new environment and culture. They are trying to create a network, so volunteers in the whole country can get easily in contact with each other. Also when I had questions they answered me very fast.
