TEACH DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN IN QUITO IN ECUADOR
Teach in nice and beautiful Ecuador（厄瓜多尔）! The government school we work with has about 200 pupils aged from 5 to 14 years old. The children come from many different economic backgrounds and family situations. Some of the children are supported by the upper-class employers of their parents; others cannot attend school every day as they sell something in the streets for parts of the week.
This school really needs volunteers and you’ll be greatly appreciated. You’ll work with disadvantaged children who will benefit greatly from your help! You will be able to teach English and many other subjects—IT, sports, music, art, drama, anything you have a good knowledge in! Please let us know if you have a special interest and we will do our best to tailor-make (定制) your project!
