• Children: This children's project was originally set up in the 1970’s to help people from poor backgrounds.

  In the 1980’s Padre Colin, a Scottish missionary went over to Ecuador to try and help the impoverished people north of Quito.

  There are opportunities for volunteers to work with the children in the school that has been bult either working in the morning with kids from 5 to 12 years old, or with youths from 13 to 17 years old from 08.30 until 12.00hrs or working in the afternoon with kids from 5 to 12 years old from 14.00hrs to 17.00hrs. There is a possibility that volunteers could work both in the morning and the afternoon sessions. This school has few resources so a good imagination is a must.

• Teaching: You could work in the University of Ecuador if you are a qualified teacher. Alternatively, teach in the biggest and best-known public girls school in the city of Quito, in a Spanish Language school or even in the Institute School of English (this is the only salaried position).
• Art museum: A privately funded art museum located in Quito. It promotes understanding and snowledge of modern art. The exhibits are mainly works by Guayasamin and Kingman. If you are a professional artist, you can give art classes to children and adults. Other volunteers are needed to talk about art to the public. Translators are also need for correspondence and office work.
