Volunteer in Ecuador?

Humana People to People started its work in Ecuador in the end of 2007 and have started  2 Child Aid Projects and several international volunteers have participated in starting up the projects.

Ecuador is known for its oil boom during the 1970s. 35% of the population live in poverty and about 17% that are vulnerable to it. One and half million Ecuadorians live in extreme poverty, because they cannot meet the proper standards of living. This country has high rural poverty. There is a higher malnutrition rate in this country causing child mortality rates. The reason is that the families are unemployed and cannot provide their children with the right necessities of living. 

Richmond Vale Academy, located in the small poor island nation of the Caribbean has started to train volunteers for the Humana People to People projects.  Courses start in July, November and March every year.

The fighting with the poor program is 9 months including a 4 months practical and theoretical training period at the Academy and an investigation in Ecuador, 4 months of working with the poor at the Humana People to People Child Aid Project followed by 1 month of evaluation and spreading the voice of the poor.  

 Courses start in July, November and March every year. School fees apply.
