Volunteer in Ecuador - Teaching, Community Development, and Sustainability
- Ecuador
About Program
This is a social initiative that generates development on ancestral and poor communities by the access of knowledge and rescue of ancestral values.
The project re-establish the relationship between the community children and a more sustainable way of life. Giving them knowledge to generate new ideas and abilities to empower themselves. In that way when they grow up, they will not need to seek job on the city's (local bars, restaurants, alcohol vendors, hotels). Instead they will generate them own entrepreneurship by local tourism, organic products, ancestral practices, and more.
The project include organic farming, bio-building (bamboo & earth) , wood workshops, teach english through storytelling and more!!
This is a TWO LOCATION project. We have a station near the beach and other on the community deep in the coast mountains and a lake. We travel between them each week.
