Volunteer at an Orphanage in Ecuador
We have orphanages throughout Ecuador where you can volunteer.
The most valuable activity sought by orphanages is for Volunteers
to teach English to the kids. Books can often be scarce at orphanages,
especially in rural areas, but the staff usually can provide you
with a standard lesson book to follow.
Depending on your own skills and interests, though, you can also
teach songs, music, dance, cooking, or any number of activities,
and generally just spend quality time with the children.
Most orphanages also welcome assistance from Volunteers for the
organizations themselves. This involves working with staff to develop
marketing, fundraising, and program strategies for the orphanages.
