Volunteers in Formal & Non-Formal Education with Fundación VASE in Ecuador

I have a wonderful time here in Ecuador with the fundaction VASE. I have experienced a lot of new things, saw incredible nature, made new friends, and most important, had a very good insight in the Ecuadorian life and culture thanks to my host family and my project. I live in Ambato and work in an orphanage with children from age 0 to 12. The work is very diverse cause I can change free between the different age groups. The most time I support the eldest children with their homework and English, or were playing outside, but I and also help out in the house (cleaning, cooking, painting..). The work is really fun and I am going to miss the children a lot after this year. But I actually wanted to work in an environmental project. It is a bit sad that there don't exist many in Ecuador, and the chances are little to get into one. But this year here is still such a great experience, I am really glad I decided to go to Ecuador. VASE is a good organisation, the seminars are very nice, they support you when you have questions and you can easily connect with other volunteers.
