Volunteer Ecuador:
Orphanage Project
Overview of the Project
In the last two decades, the population of Ecuador has doubled – creating a growing population of abandoned children. Most of these children are from poor and/or indigenous families. Growing poverty, lacking education, and limited governmental resources further exacerbate the problem of street children and orphans in Ecuador . In the both rural and urban regions throughout Ecuador , our local partners have instituted a number of organizations to protect the life of these vulnerable children from further exploitation and potential homelessness. However, this project is in need of volunteers who are willing to share their time, efforts, skill, and love for the good of these abandoned children.
In the Ecuador Orphanage Project, volunteers will help the underprivileged children of the orphanage by teaching Basic English or Spanish. During their stay, volunteers also have the opportunity to explore and learn Spanish (except if participating in the Galapagos Islands ). Volunteers will help by feeding, caring for, and simply playing with these very young children. Volunteers may also help in developing creative programs for art, music, dance, and sports. Additional assistance with day trips, sanitation, personal hygiene, cooking, and administrative duties might be requested. Additionally, volunteers can assist in the reintegration of the children into families or society. |
