AmeriSpan offers Volunteer placements in Ecuador
ECUADOR was named for its position on the Equator and is bordered by Colombia, Peru and the Pacific Ocean. Not many countries as small as Ecuador have such diverse climate regions. This country has the tallest active volcano in the world, great white sand beaches, tropical rainforests, deep crevasses, colorful Indian markets and is well known for its social and political stability.
A willingness to help is all you need at the after-school project, the outreach for the poor, or an orphanage. Your presence there can be the difference between children getting some personal attention and one-on-one contact with an adult role model, or being left to their own devices (the projects are so understaffed that the personnel can barely get the bare basics done). One of our favorites is ‘Children of the Prisoners’, a daycare center situated in a women’s prison. Healthcare professional or students can help in hospitals for the poor. ESL teachers can gain experience teaching at the University and long term volunteers are very welcome at the Center for Street Children.
