Review

VASE is a very supportive and nice organisation.
If you have problems in your project or your host family the staff always helps you to find a solution.
There are also a few nice activities you can/must participate in during your stay in Ecuador.
The only thing I would criticize is that a lot of the volunteers of my year didn't got the projects they wished for, so if you want to do a volunteer year you have to be open to do something which may not be your dream project in the first place. However I myself got to like the project I ended up with by time even though it wasn't what I imagined.

Overall it's a really cool experience. I am staying in Quito in Ecuador and during my 8 months that I've already been here, I saw a lot of Ecuador's beautiful nature as well as I got to know some things about the culture and meet new people.
Therefore I would definitely recommend doing a volunteer year with Vase to Ecuador.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
