Response from Lead-Adventures Ecuador & Galapagos Islands
Our teaching volunteer program in the coast region sponsored by the local government started in 2013. The first year of operations for this program has been quite challenging since it requires the participation and coordination between the local government, families, and administrators in general.
We know and realize it is not a smooth running operation yet but the results are great and we see improvements in operations day by day.
We have hired more than 15 teachers last year, that helped us a lot by creating group support and improving the situation of this poor region in Ecuador. All of our teachers have been young volunteers that finally had a nice experiences knowing this country, our culture, traditions, traveling through the 4 regions in Ecuador in some cases.
Fortunately for the current year, we have booked more teachers and expect to have volunteers on a regular basis to continue the process already set by the last ones, helping the children and the education in this country.
We apologize for any unmet expectations about this program although the overall feedback has been positive and believe that being part of something that is in the process of being built is perhaps the most important experience any participant can get from this.
Many thanks
