Center for the Children of Prisoners
Ecuador Internship Placement
Options
- Full-time volunteer
- Internship
- Part-time volunteer
- Volunteer Only
The centre provides care for about 20 children aged between 5 and 12 years of age, whose mothers are either working in the sex industry or incarcerated, and therefore unable to look after them. The children live at the centre although for those who are able to, they see their mothers at the weekends. The centre consists of dormitories, a dining area, library, study centre and playground. Throughout the day, the children are
provided with food, care and educational activities.
The permanent staff are occupied all day with day-to-day tasks running the center, so as a volunteer you will be kept busy helping them out with cooking, cleaning and care-work, as well as keeping the children entertained. You’ll need to be creative, patient and able to use your initiative as you organize educational and recreational activities for the children such as teaching English, playing games and arranging excursions.
