Childcare Volunteering Program in Ecuador

The volunteers taking part in this project will be working with children of between 4 and 6 years of age to teach basic literacy and education. The classes are informal, focusing on fun and interaction aimed at helping them learn a range of different activities. Having never attended school, these children will require help to master essential classroom basics like holding pencils, their initial numbers, drawing lines and their ABCs. Although often challenging, working with young children is a rewarding experience and every day is full of laughter and fun. This project is run in a school with older children and volunteers may occasionally be needed to assist in classes with students of an older age group. Living with a local family in the beautiful market town of Otavalo, volunteering on this project gives you the opportunity to learn Spanish and immerse yourself in Andean indigenous culture.
